Paras Shah’s Pajero kills musician Gurung

By Kedar Ojha

KATHMANDU, Aug 7 - Musician Praveen Gurung died here last night after
his motorbike was hit by a blue Pajero, allegedly driven by Prince
Paras Shah, with the number plate Ba. 3 Cha. 692 near the eastern gate
of the Royal Palace, police sources said.

The blue Pajero registered under the name of King Mahendra Trust for
Nature Conservation sped towards Keshar Mahal after hitting Gurung.
Though Gurung was rushed to Bir Hospital, the doctors declared him dead
within 30 minutes.

Police Inspector Rajkumar Baidwar of Ward Police Office at Durbarmarg
along with another police officer followed the speeding Pajero from
Lainchour area. The patrol van of Durbarmarg Police Station returned
from Maharajgunj after they saw that Prince Paras Shah was on the
driver’s seat, sources said.

The Pajero sped away to a garage at Baluwatar via Lazimpat, Panipokhari
and Maharajgunj from where Prince Paras Shah then called for his friend
to send a white car belonging to Club Dynasty and then came to
Durbarmarg Police Station, sources added.

"After the rumour of the death of the victim spread, two vehicles came
to Durbarmarg Police Station with Prince Paras Shah. Getting off from
the white car Prince Paras Shah pointed a gun at the police officer on
duty and threatened to keep his mouth shut about the accident," the
source said.

Earlier, Inspector Baidwar, who had chased the Pajero, had reported the
registration number of the Pajero to Police Control Room three times.
Surprisingly, however, all the police units that prepared initial
reports of the accident have recorded that Gurung was hit by
an "unidentified" car.

When asked with the concerned higher police officials, they flatly
denied knowledge of the accident saying they were out on patrolling
duty at the time of the incident.

According to the source, Prince Paras Shah -- who has already been
involved in few other cases of road accidents -- had set out on his
Pajero from X-Zone Disco at Kamaladi leaving his friends after a
quarrel broke out and police entered the disco.

Deceased Gurung, whose last rites were performed today, had composed
music for over 500 songs. He was employed at Rastriya Nach Ghar and the
Yak and Yeti Hotel as a musician. He is survived by his wife and two
sons.

MPs demand action against Paras Shah

KOL Report

KATHMANDU, August 8 –Lawmakers in parliament today asked the government
to take necessary action against Prince Paras Shah over Sunday night's
incident in which he is alleged to have hit a man on a motorcycle with
his jeep. The man later died in hospital of his wounds.

In parliament Tuesday lawmakers from different political parties
including the ruling party Nepali Congress demanded thorough
investigation into the incident. They asked the government to
incriminate Prince Shah if found guilty.

They castigated Shah for his alleged careless driving and trying to
abuse the constitution. They unanimously decried Shah's deed and said
he has no right to violate the rule of law. Lawmakers said that no
citizen could remain above the constitution not even the member of the
royal family.

According to police sources Prince Paras hit the man, musician Praveen
Gurung, just outside the eastern Palace gate. Gurung later died in
hospital of his wounds. Police sources further said that Prince Shah
threatened officers at the Durbarmarg police station with a pistol and
told them to keep their mouths shut about the incident. (sk/rk)

I was in Kathmandu when Paras also killed a taxi driver while driving drunk
ne Jawalakhel. It is time to take this drunken driver off the road. He
may be of the royal family but he is no royal. Drunk drivers are severly
punished in other countries, why not Nepal.

I think, the result of this offense is quite predictable as HM the King still
has the power to give HUKUM for "Aam Maafi", once the hue and cry subdues. The
legal process if it takes at all, will surely be intervened and the family of
the 'victim' will be pacified by every possible means. More over, Nepal still
carries the values of "KANUN LAI HUKUM LE KATNE", (Rough translation: law is
nullified with royal order) though nobody is above the law/constitution is
being voiced.
Lets see what happens in the "Kanuni Rajya"(legal country) as defined in the
constitution of Nepal.

the Royal Paagal.. (oops Paras)

Hi,
Just imagine, they have started the investigation with the "number thah
huna nasakeko gadi le thakkar diyeko". This probably explains how the
investigation is being done.

Hard to believe it is still happening in Nepal.

Yes, hard to believe this is still happening. Drunk driving in Nepal is a
serious matter. No one seems to be paying attention to the problem.
All drunk drivers need to be stopped and in particular Paras Shah who has
been involved in fatal accidents before. Who will stop him?
