Nepal's Gurung Returns as Home Minister, Orders New Royal Massacre Probe
Sudhan Gurung, a Gen-Z leader and re-appointed Home Minister of Nepal, gestures as he arrives at the ministry to take charge for the second time in less than two months in Kathmandu, Nepal, on June 9, 2026. Gurung, who resigned from the post in April following his connection to a controversial businessman, returns as Home Minister. He outlines four major policy decisions aimed at reforming national security and addressing unresolved high-profile cases, stating that ''every criminal file in the country will now be reopened.'' Gurung announces that further investigation into the Narayanhiti Royal Palace incident of June 1, 2001, will proceed by reviewing previous reports. The event, which resulted in the deaths of King Birendra Bir Bikram Shah and his family, remains one of the most mysterious in Nepali history. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
