The Night A Monarchy Was Obliterated. On June 1, 2001, nine members of Nepal’s Royal Family, including King Birendra and Queen Aishwarya, were gunned down at the Narayanhiti Palace. The official verdict was clear: Crown Prince Dipendra—fueled by rage over a forbidden marriage and substance abuse—murdered his family before taking his own life.

This chilling true crime episode dissects the Royal Nepal Massacre (Durbar Hatyakanda), exploring the rampant conspiracy theories that suggest a political coup. We examine the motive of a forbidden love, the detailed evidence, the strange survival of the successor, King Gyanendra, and the glaring inconsistencies in the official investigation

Join us as we look beyond the palace walls and ask why the nation of Nepal still believes the truth about this shocking royal tragedy remains unsolved.
