Nagarkot massacre
The Nagarkot massacre was an act of mass murder that occurred on December 14, 2005 at the Kali Devi temple in Chihandanda near Nagarkot, Nepal. Off-duty RNA sergeant Basudev Thapa (वासुदेव थापा), 26, indiscriminately shot at villagers, celebrating at the temple, with an assault rifle, killing 11 and injuring 19 more, before he himself was shot by his fellow soldiers. The shooting was said to be sparked by an argument between Thapa and some of the villagers.〔(Nepalese soldier kills 11 civilians ), ''USA Today'' (December 15, 2005)〕〔("Angered" Nepalese soldier kills 11 civilians, ''The Independent'' ) (December 15, 2005)〕
==Shooting==
While nearly 250 villagers were celebrating Mangsir Purnima at the Kali Devi temple in Chihandanda an argument broke out between Sergeant Basudev Thapa, stationed at the Nagarkot barrack, and youths from the nearby Pipalbot village with whom he had a long-standing enmity.〔(Slaughter of 12 Nepali civilians continues to create ripples, ''Asian Tribune'' ) (December 19, 2005)〕 When the youths began to beat him up, the allegedly drunk soldier attacked one of them with a knife. Yelling "I'll come back and kill you all" Thapa, bruised from the fight, drove off in his motorcycle〔(Cold Blood, ''Nepali Times'' ) (December 16, 2005)〕 and returned to the barracks, where he armed himself with an L1A1 SLR. Although he was off-duty at that time, Thapa was allowed to leave the barracks with the gun without fulfilling any formality.〔(Nagarkot killings – a handiwork of RNA?, ''Nepal Monthly Human Rights Briefing Paper'' ) (p.2)〕
After about half an hour, at 11:30 p.m., Thapa and three of his colleagues〔 returned to the temple grounds. He fired a few shots in the air, before shooting indiscriminately at the people who were trying to seek refuge within the temple from the gunman.
Though many initial news reports named 12 civilians killed, the official report states that only 11 people were shot to death and 19 others wounded by the more than 200 shots fired,〔(13 killed, 19 injured in Nagarkot incident, ''Nepal News Daily'' )〕 before Thapa himself was killed. According to RNA statements, Thapa committed suicide, though many witnesses said that he was killed by one of his colleagues, while he was still firing at the villagers.〔 An investigation of Thapa's body found that he died of a chest wound that could not possibly have been self-inflicted,〔 thus contradicting the official version.〔(Local fair turns into nightmare, ''People's Daily Online'' ) (December 16, 2005)〕〔(Soldier kills 11 civilians in Nepal, ''Asian Tribune'' ) (December 16, 2005)〕
