Tomb curse on Nepal royals?

I heard this story some years back, not exactly the same but a lil different version. The priest of that secret room is a Pandey, who was mistreated by Birendra when he reminded the then King about a special puja and a request of Chhema puja. Only the pandey khalak priests were allowed to worship in that room, where a very powerful BAYUU has been locked up by TANTRA. The secret room required special puja at every 12 years. The priest reminded the King Birendra about it requesting needed arrangements for the puja, but the King just ordered an ordinary puja. He tried to explain about the importance of that puja, but the King just smiled upon him. He felt the King did not believe what he was explaining.

In a visit to their ancestor place the same year, the palace was on minor renovation, and the secret room was covered by curtains. The priest was not sure what dragged birendra into that spot, but he arrived near the room without any pre-plan. It was like a sudden arrival. Because the room is believed to be so dangerous for the Shah people, none of them were allowed to come that closer, to avoid any accidental entry into the room.

When people found suddenly Birendra coming into that place, everybody tried to stop him, but he did not listen to anyone, and entered straight into the room, did namaste to a covered god, and came back. None of his ancestors ever dared to enter in that room. The priest was sure, it will bring disaster. He thought a Chhema puja would probably compensate for this grand mistake. He even thought to have a special 12-year puja with Chhema puja but the king burst against him with mild anger. The priest felt humiliated and resigned from the job after that. Another young pandey was appointed in the job, who was not so familiar with all procedure, past mistakes and tantric rituals. The young one is still there as the priest.

The senior priest was predicting some sort of unrecoverable disaster or "Kulnash" since that incident with his inner friends and relatives. But most people thought the priest was simply mad because he lost his job. Nobody even believed he left the job himself. After 4 years of the incident, the royal massacre took place. The senior priest is still alive (soon approaching to his 90s). A grandson of the priest told me the entire story.
 
Its up to you to believe on such story or not. But there are people who are involved in these stories, and have witnessed all the happenings. So, I can't say the story is nonsense.
