  • On August 17, 2002 (Bhadra 1, 2059), at around 7 p.m., a group of uniformed RNA soldiers came to the village of Manpur in Magaragadi VDC-4. They detained thirty-three-year-old Basant Prasad Chowdhury in the shop he owned and brought him to his home to look for his brother, who was not there at the time.
  • The soldiers then took Chowdhury to the house of twenty-five-year-old Raju Tharu, who had worked as a laborer in India for the previous five years. The soldiers ordered Raju Tharu to accompany them, saying they had "a little business" with him, and walked both men away. 130
