On the night of 12 February 2004, around fifty to sixty armed and uniformed members of the then Royal Nepal Army (RNA) conducted an operation in Ward No. 3, Pokhari Chauri Village Development Committee, Kavre District. They were guided by an informant known to be a teacher in the village. At around 11pm, they first visited the house of Dilmaya Chaulagain and searched it for evidence of Maoist activity. When they found nothing of value to them they took her food and after an hour or so moved onto the house of Subhadra Chaulagain.
They then dragged her from her home by her hair and questioned her for over an hour with regards to any Maoist activity she may know of. Four members of the RNA then took her out of the house in front of her father, called her a “slut” and verbally abused her. All four shot her in the stomach and face at point blank range. After this, four other members of the RNA stamped and kick on her body, causing her intestines to spill out on to the ground. Then the Author, Subhadra’s father, was taken to the same place where Subhadra was questioned. The RNA brutally tortured him with their rifle butts and kicked him with their boots while he was lying on the floor until they believed him to be dead.
The case was submitted to UN HRC on December 8, 2010.
