Murder of 11 farmers by then Royal Nepal Army

Eleven farmers of Bargadi were murdered by the then Royal Nepal Army on 28 November, 2001 while they were working in the paddy sifting yard that belonged to landlord Krishna Sharma. The names of these victims are as follows:  Asharam Chaudhari, Krishna Prasad Chaudhari, Sitlal Chaudhari, Prasadu Chaudhari, Ram Bahadur Chaudhari, Ruplal, Khushiram Chaudhari, Jagaman Chaudhari, Rishiram Chaudhari, Jogi Chaudhari, Somlal Chaudhari. They were accused of being the supporters of Maoists.  At around 3 pm, armed RNA personnel in uniform entered the village and went to the place where these victims were sifting paddy.  Some army personnel said, “Comrade Red Salute!” and ordered all the victims to gather at a single place. The victims followed the order as they feared the army men. Army personnel asked them to genuflect and then they opened fire at them all. The soldiers then drove away in the red pick-up van.

Smoke was surging up in the incident spot. The victims’ family members couldn’t go to the incident spot because of the fear of the army. All except Ruplal Chaudhari were dead on the spot. Ruplal was crying for water. His wife dragged him to the hayrick, helped him lean on its support and gave him water. He could not drink water well; he only managed to drink some of it and poured it on his stomach while trying to drink. People gathered there were in dilemma whether to take him to hospital or not. They feared that soldiers may take reprisal on them if they took him to hospital. Later they decided that he should be taken to hospital. The victims’ family members started keening for their loved ones. Somlal Chaudhari’s family members took his dead body home.
Meanwhile, around 5 in the evening, the soldiers arrived there in three trucks covering their faces with masks. People gathered there began fleeing the scene fearing the soldiers. Seeing Ruplal Chaudhary alive, soldiers shot him dead and carried the ten bodies to Ghorahi. People were frightened to keep Somlal’s body at home for soldiers might come searching for it and kill others. Then they took the body back to the place of the incident. Army men came there the following morning and took it away on a truck.

Soldiers kept the dead bodies at Mahendra Hospital in Ghorahi for five to six days. Then the male members of the victims' family went there to claim the dead bodies. They went there along with the then mayor and vice-mayor of Tribhuvannagar Municipality and the ward president of the village Mohanlal Chaudhari. In the receipt it was stated that the victims had been killed in combat. When they tried to protest, army men threatened them by saying, “Sign on the receipt. The higher authorities have ordered the same. If you don’t sign, we’ll throw the corpse elsewhere and we also will do the same to you.” To save their own skin and to perform the last rites of their loved ones, they signed on the receipt.  The victims’ relatives loaded them in a truck and brought them to a stream nearby Peepaldanda in Bargadi where they interred them in a row.

False news was announced from Radio Nepal and Nepal Television that RNA personnel had killed terrorists in combat at Bargadi. Those terrorists had come to loot weapons. It was also announced that a socket bomb had been found from their possession. Victims’ relatives felt that insult had been added to their injury when their innocent loved ones were killed for no reason and on top of that they were tagged as terrorists.

The anguished, terrified family members came to know the brutal killings of their loved ones and their bodies being thrown in Bahundanda forest.
