The first June 2001, the king Birendra, queen Aishwarya, and at least eight other persons are murdered in the royal palace. The crown prince, Dipendra is hurt and the authorities accuse it. He is however proclaimed a king but dies the four of June following his wounds. The brother's Birendra and uncle's Dipendra is crowned king the same day. But the population does not believe the Nepalese authorities. The Nepalese require the truth because they had a lot of respect for dead king. Furthermore, Gyanendra is accused of wanting to restore the absolute monarchy and thus being set against the multiparty system ,accepted by Birendra in 1990.
The Maoist guerrilla accuses it of being the author of the massacre of the royal family because his son was saved and because himself was absent in the palace the first june, during the slaughter.
