One died of love, another died from the lack of it. When his second wife Anju started having an affair with his bodyguard, former DIG Balaram Bahadur KC shot himself in the chest with a shotgun by pulling the trigger with his toe. He did this at 5AM on his sofa at home. His suicide note written in marker pen was pasted on the wall. He blamed Anju and his former bodyguard Saroj. 'You wanted a lot of sex, you wanted a lot of property, now all you can take is this life." the note says. The final straw seems to have been KC's discovery that Anju was sending her lover food from the house. Colleagues described KC as a good looking and mild-mannered man. He was cremated Saturday at Pashupati.

Amrit Rai ('Comrade Abhisek') never lost a battle in war, but he lost in love. Abhisek was Section Commander of the Ratna Sakunta Memorial Brigade in Morang and was in love with his Sub-section Commander. Unable to handle his party's decision not to allow him to marry her, Abhisek decided to take his own life. Fellow guerrillas remember Abhisek as a courageous warrior. He was absent at morning exercise and seemed depressed. There was an explosion in the camp on Friday morning, and inmates found Abhisek's body ripped apart by a grenade.
