Former Crown Prince Paras Shah opened fire at son-in-law of foreign
minister Sujata Koirala, Rubel Chaudhary, at Tiger Tops Resort in
Chitwan National Park over a personal dispute Saturday night, reports
say.

Quoting high level police sources Kantipur daily reported, Chaudhary escaped unhurt as the bullet fired by Shah missed him.

Shah's
personal security guards took Chaudhary and hid him in a room in the
resort after the incident. They transferred him to another resort in
Nawalparasi the next morning before Shah got up.

Chief District Officer (CDO) of Chitwan, Basanta Raj Gautam, said the dispute was totally personal. 

After
knowing about the incident foreign minister Koirala, who is on a
foreign trip, called home minister Bhim Rawal and Inspector General of
Police (IGP) Ramesh Chand Thakuri and requested them to arrest Shah and
take action against him.

A statement reputed to be issued by
Shah has been circulated in the media in which he has conceded he fired
in the air as he was provoked by a Bangladeshi and an Indian national
who came and started talking to him when he was having dinner at the
resort that night.

After they started humiliating my family, the
erstwhile institution of monarchy and my country I tried controlling
the situation, I opened fire in the air as I could not take the
situation in control peacefully, it is mentioned in the statement.

District Police Office, Chitwan has said, it is investigating the incident. nepalnews.com
