A heavy burden has now befallen on the investigative committee, formed in the aftermath of the Royal shootings on June1, 2001. Chances are rife that the committee's report may very well be dismissed by some quarters as a mere propaganda of the government. Therefore, an important and challenging task stands before the committee. Now, its duty is not just to publish a report on what exactly happened within the confines of the Royal palace on fateful Friday night, and many of us can by now make a well-calculated guess on what the report has to conclude.

Another equally important task of the committee is to convince the people that the report speaks the truth. This can only be done by including meticulous details, through analysis of the incident, supported by evidence. Forsenic reports and findings should be made public without tampering with them.
