Gyanendra Khadka
Gyanendra Khadka (Nepali: ज्ञानेन्द्र खँड्का) (died 2003) was a journalist of Nepal who was killed by Maoist insurgents during the Maoist insurgency in Nepal. He was brutally murdered by a group of Maoist rebels on 7 September 2003, in Jyamire village of Sindhupalchok District, Nepal. At age of 35, Khadka was working as a reporter with the state-owned news agency Rastriya Samachar Samiti (RSS),.[1] Khadka was abducted from a school in the village by four gunmen and they tied his hands with a rope. When his wife searched for and discovered him, he was tied to a volleyball pole in the middle of the village. The rebels then slit his throat with a Khukuri (a knife) in front of his wife.[2]
