When you become a public figure, your life becomes an open book! That is one of the risks you take when you become a public figure. You all know stories of Clinton-Leweinsky or Charles-Comilla affairs! Scores of Hollywood characters or Boys from Billionaires Clubs are always subject to public scrutinity. (Incidentally, they are not supported by your taxes, instead they pay taxes to support you!) Having said that people like Raj Bahadur Singh are always around. Did not we hear fancy stories about Prince Dhirendra messing around with so many girls? King Mahendra had a illegitimate son. King Tribhuwan had 7 (yes Seven) illegitimate daughters. These facts are recored in Palace geneology. We forgot why this this thread was started in the beginning. Raj Bahadur allegedly demanded to buy one of the popular hotels in Kathmandu, Hotel Yak and Yeti, from the owner, Sarraf family, presumably under the slight veil of threat which was enough for the owners to panic. They started running around seeking help from Delhi/Indian Embassy, and even planning to leave Nepal for good! If this is true, it sounds like classic Mafia style business dealing when the Mafia Boss Godfather tells the owner: "We will make an offer, you can't refuse!" And of course, when the seller refused, watch the movies Godfather and Bugsy for the answer! No wonder, Nepal is always rolling down the hill!
