The BBC reported that during the Genji movement on 23 Bhadra, the then Inspector General of Police Chandrakuber Khapung ordered the firing on unarmed protesters.
After the curfew was imposed at 12:30 pm, 19 people were killed in front of the parliament building that day. The documentary ‘Shot Like the Enemies: Inside Nepal’s Genji Uprising
’ prepared by the BBC World Service includes internal police documents. In the document, the call sign ‘Peter One’ ordered police officers to ‘use necessary force’ 10 minutes after the curfew was imposed. The curfew was imposed at 12:30 pm. ‘Peter One’ was the call sign used by the then Inspector General of Nepal Police Chandra Kuber Khapung, the BBC reported, citing a source. ‘Khapung has not denied giving the order to open fire.’ ‘The order came from a security committee made up of Nepal’s top security forces. "IGP Khapung had not given any such order before the committee's decision," the documentary says, quoting a Nepal Police spokesperson.
When contacted, Khapung did not respond, according to the BBC. A video examination conducted by the BBC shows 17-year-old Shreeyam Chaulagain unarmed. He had come to the protest in student uniform. He was trying to leave the scene before he died.
