Dekendra Thapa was a Nepali journalist. He was killed by Maoist combatants during the Maoist insurgency in Nepal after getting kidnapped from his home at Dailekh District of western Nepal. He was working for Radio Nepal, the National broadcasting service at the time.

The Facts

In June 2004, the Maoists blocked the pipe that brought water to the district capital, and Dekendra Thapa and other journalists walked to the Maoist-controlled area to try to persuade them to open it. Instead, they were kidnapped by the rebels, and while the others were released, Dekendra was detained.[1]

Maoists abducted Thapa on June 26, and a rebel commander said on August 16 that they had executed him on August 11, 2004, according to local news reports.[2]

Dekendra Raj Thapa was killed two months after the rebels abducted him.[3]

His corpse was discovered after four years buried inside a local forest.[4] It was found that since his mouth was found open and two bones broken, he was buried alive. The police arrested 5 people after 8 years of killing in charge of their involvement in killing of Mr. Thapa.[5]
