Criminal career
Gurung came to public attention in the early 2000s, a time marked by political instability in Nepal, during which several local gangs expanded their activities. He has been implicated in multiple criminal cases, including charges of attempted murder, assault, and organized violence.
Although he has been arrested on several occasions, reports have described him as continuing to maintain influence, allegedly due to political affiliations. His name has appeared in media accounts related to incidents involving public altercations, including the use of weapons and explosives.[2]
Personal Life
Chakre Milan was attacked by a gang of 15 men led by Deepak Manange in May 2004. He nearly lost his hand in the attack that involved swords. Chakre Milan's brother led an attack with swords and Khukuris in retaliation, which Manange survived.[3] Manange was convicted of attempted murder and sentenced to five years in prison for the incident. Milan was at one time thought to be under the political protection of CPN UML leader Pradeep Nepal.[4]
Chakre Milan's criminal record goes back to 2001, when he was first arrested for allegedly attacking Prince Dhirendra's son-in-law with a sword.[1] He has been arrested multiple times since, including on charges of attempted murders with swords or guns.[4]
