black day that Nepalese can never forget. There are many stories of doubts and
suspicions about what happened on this day when the dynasty of the then King
Birendra was destroyed. But the fact

whiskey. Some time before King Birendra

Dipendra's mobile from his landline phone for 4 minutes and 14 seconds. As the voice seemed to be low during the
conversation, the reason for not being able to say anything else was, "prince's
voice is a little low, isn't it a little calm?" "I called Gajendra Vohra, the successor
of prince, at his office and Raju Karki at his house and asked him to go to
Khopi," Devyani later told the committee.
