Prince Nirajan Bir Bikram Shah Dev, (November 6 1977–June 1 2001) was a Prince of Nepal, younger brother of Crown Prince/King Dipendra, who fatally shot him and other royals at a dinner in 2001. Nirajan was next in line to the throne after Dipendra.
Just before he was shot, he had changed his maruti gypsy jeep to a new Toyota RAV4. Unconfirmed sources quoted that this new jeep was presented to him by his brother Dipendra. Just a couple of hours before the royal massacre, he was finishing an exam in financial management at Kathmandu College of Management.
