Nepali student shot and killed In Texas

A Nepali student who was working his shift at a convenience store in Missouri City, Texas, was shot with a rifle and killed during a robbery on Sept. 28 2008.

Ashok Bhattarai, who attended Houston Community College, was found dead next to the cash register at the First Stop Food Store, according to FortBendnow. Read the comments section on the news page to see how the store customers are reacting to this shooting.

A police spokesman said Ashok had been shot to death. Surveillence video Missouri City Police detectives obtained showed a black man about 5 feet, 10 inches tall wearing a do-rag opened the door to the store and fired a rifle, striking Ashok.

The assailant then walked over to a safe that Ashok had just opened, pulled out about $5,000 in cash and walked out, police reports said.

The police spokesman said a second clerk was in the cooler re-stocking the store while the shooting and robbery occurred, and apparently didn't hear anything.

"We're looking at the videos - not only from last night, but during the whole day," in hopes of more information, the police spokesman said. The case is being treated as a homicide investigation.

Ashok's family, from the Dallas area, was informed of his death Monday morning.

According to a Nepali community website, Bhattarai's parents will not be able to travel to Nepal and have therefore asked friends in Houston to send their son's body back to Nepal.

This is the latest in a series of shootings of South Asian store clerks in the last few months. In August, a 7-Eleven store clerk was shot and killed in Phoenix.

Nepalese royal massacre

The Nepalese royal massacre occurred on Friday, June 1, 2001, at the Narayanhity Royal Palace, then the residence of the Nepalese monarchy, when Crown Prince Dipendra allegedly shot and killed several members of his family. As a result of the shooting, ten people died and five were wounded. The dead included King Birendra of Nepal and Queen Aiswarya, Dipendra's father and mother. Prince Dipendra became de jure King of Nepal upon his father's death and died whilst in a coma three days later.

Nepalese Civil War

The Nepali Civil War (labelled People's War by the Maoists^[2]) was a conflict between government forces and Maoist rebels in Nepal which lasted from 1996 until 2006. The war was started by the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) on 13 February 1996, with the aim of overthrowing the Nepalese monarchy and establishing the "People's Republic of Nepal." It ended with a Comprehensive Peace Accord signed on 21 November 2006 which is now monitored by United Nations Mission in Nepal.

More than 12,800 people were killed (4,500 by Maoists and 8,200 by the government)^[1] and an estimated 100,000 to 150,000 people were internally displaced as a result of the conflict. This conflict disrupted the majority of rural development activities and led to a deep and complex Left Front which, together with the Nepali Congress, was the backbone of the broadbased movement for democratic change. However, communist groups uncomfortable with the alliance between ULF and Congress formed a parallel front, the United National People's Movement. The UNPM called for elections to a Constituent Assembly, and rejected compromises made by ULF and Congress with the royal house. In November 1990 the Communist Party of Nepal (Unity Centre) was formed, including key elements of constituents of UNPM. The new party held its first convention in 1991, the adopted a line of "protracted armed struggle on the route to a new democratic revolution" and that the party would remain an underground party. The CPN(UC) set up Samyukta Jana Morcha, with Baburam Bhattarai as its head, as an open front ten contest elections. In the 1991 elections, SJM became the third force in the Nepali parliament. However, disagreements surged regarding which tactics were to be used by the party. One sector argued for immediate armed revolution whereas others (including senior leaders like Nirmal Lama) claimed that Nepal was not yet ripe for armed struggle.
