Former crown prince Paras Shah and Bangladeshi national Rubel Chowdhury recorded their respective statements at the District Administration Office (DAO) of Chitwan over the Tiger Tops firing incident on Tuesday.
Chowdhury, who is the son-in-law of former deputy prime minister and Nepali Congress leader Sujata Koirala, recorded his statement for the first time at the DAO.
Briefly speaking to reporters after the hearing, Rubel said he "saw a pistol in Shah's hand, but was not sure if he opened fire or somebody else did."
Chowdhury also mentioned the manager of the Tiger Tops resort, Chitwan, Yadav Bantawa and two other employees as witnesses of the firing incident.
Meanwhile, the Chitwan DAO has notified ex-crown prince Shah to show up for next hearing on April 27. Shah recorded his statement some time after Chowdhury left the DAO.
A crowd of people chanted slogans in support of Shah as he recorded the statement at the DAO.
He is accused of opening fire at Chowdhury on the night of 11 December 2011 at the resort where the two were vacationing with their families.
Chowdhury had escaped unscratched in the incident that drew media attention for several days. nepalnews.com
