Former King Shah cuts short Simara sojourn, returns to Capital

Former King Gyanendra Shah

Former King Gyanendra Shah and his wife Komal have returned to the Capital cutting short their stay in Simara.

The couple returned to Kathmandu to prepare to head for Bangkok, where their son Paras has been on life support after a major heart attack on Tuesday last week. The 41-year-old former crown prince suffered the stroke a day after his mother Komal celebrated her 63rd birthday in Simara.

The Shahs were in Simara since February 8, and were planning to stay there for a month, local reports said. nepalnews.com
