Jung Bahadur Rana and his brothers kill…

September 1846 CE

Jung Bahadur Rana and his brothers kill about forty members of the Nepalese palace court, including the Prime Minister and a relative of the King, Chautariya Fateh Jung Shah, at the palace armory (the kot) of Kathmandu, on September 14, 1846.

This will lead to the loss of power by King Rajendra Bikram Shah and by Surendra Bikram Shah and the establishment of the Rana autocracy.

By 1850 Jung Bahadur will have eliminated all of his major rivals, installed his own candidate on the throne, appointed his brothers and cronies to all the important posts, and ensured that major administrative decisions are made by himself as prime minister.
