i did not know that until i read your querry, i did a quick google and here's what i found: In March 2000 he was suspended from duty and was later sacked for his involvement in the shooting. The married father of a young son and daughter secured a job in journalism, and took compromising photographs of actress Shreesha Karki - who later committed suicide. He supplied information to the Jana Aastha newspaper, accusing her of being a prostitute, and claimed her clients included the Crown Prince, politicians and senior military personnel. The accusations provoked uproar, and Uddhav was ordered to appear at a police station "in connection with enquiries". So he fled the country and arrived in Britain in August 2001. Living in Edinburgh, he spent long hours at The Bike Station and also helped at the city's Peace and Justice Centre run from a church in the West End. He kept in constant touch with his family and sent them videos of his life in Edinburgh. After setting himself on fire last week, one eye witness was reported as saying: "It's just so shocking and sad that someone can be so desperate. People wonder how he was able to smuggle petrol into the court but the real question is what is it about the system that makes people commit such desperate acts."
