Based on the article written in NEPAL MAGAZINE (Kantipur Publication) in 2003, I read that he same guy (Ram Bahadhur Thapa..a.k.a Badaal) was given the command of all armed operations in central region of Nepal and a special command (I have no idea what the heck "special command" means) of Kathmandu Valley Operations. It was said that a.k.a Badaal was hiding undercover disguised as "Khaasaa ko Byaapari" (Khaasaa Trader). I dont know where the heck they get so funny ideas...ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
