KATHMANDU, NEPAL, October 27, 2001: Twenty-nine year old Prince Paras was named Nepal’s new crown prince yesterday. The Prince is widely disliked in Nepal for alleged criminal acts, and his father, the king, has obviously waited so long in light of this reputation to name his son crown prince. Prince Paras was somewhat redeemed in the public view when it became known that he saved several members of the royal family from being killed along with King Birendra in the royal massacre, June 2.
