Durgananda Jha

Durgananda Jha (Maithili, Nepali: दुर्गानन्द झा) was Nepalese democratic fighter who attempted to assassinate King Mahendra of Nepal in January 1962 (Magh 9, 2018 BS) in Janakpur in southeastern Nepal. Durga was captured after he threw a bomb on a motor-vehicle carrying the king. He threw bomb in a strict security of thousands of army and police at the Janaki Temple premises in Janakpur during his visit to the eastern Terai.He was executed by shot-to-death in Magh 15, 2020 (February, 1964) at Central Jail, Kathmandu. At the time of execution he was 21 years old.

He is also considered as the first republican martyr of Nepal. Jha had thrown a bomb saying King Mahendra had scuttled democracy by dissolving the popularly elected parliament and imposing a direct rule. Jha soon went into exile in India, but did not think it right to be in exile when 59 people were arrested and beaten up in the name of the bomb incident while he was preparing for various movements, and therefore, returned to Nepal. He was detained at Parbaha Railway Station as soon as he returned and put in Central Jail in Sundhara, Kathmandu.
