Deepak Manange’s journey comes full circle: From gangster to minister, now back to jail
KATHMANDU, Nov 13: The notorious tale of Rajiv Gurung, better known as Deepak Manange, has come to a full circle as the former gangster-turned minister of Gandaki Province finds himself back in jail after nearly two decades of legal and political twists.
Police arrested Manange from the capital’s Sano Bharyang area in the early hours of Tuesday following a Supreme Court ruling that upheld his attempted murder conviction for an attack on rival gangster Milan Gurung, aka Chakre Milan. The attack, which occurred in 2004, resulted in Chakre’s hand being severed. Despite years of legal battles and his political rise, the final verdict has sent Manange to Dillibazar Jail, where he now serves the remaining term of his prison sentence, which could extend to 26 months.

Gangster-turned-politician Rajeev Gurung, also known as Deepak Manange, was inducted into the Gandaki provincial government on Monday.
Gandaki Chief Minister Surendra Raj Pandey appointed Gurung as the Minister for Physical Infrastructure Development and Transport Management. Province Head Dilli Raj Bhatta administered an oath of office and secrecy to the newly appointed minister.
Chief Minister Pandey reshuffled his Cabinet by appointing Manange, who quit the CPN (Unified Socialist), as minister. Minister for Agriculture and Land Management Mahendra Dhwaj GC has been assigned additional responsibility for the Ministry of Social Development and Health as well.
Gurung, an independent candidate who was elected unopposed as a provincial lawmaker from Manang Constituency 1 (B), joined the Unified Socialist in December 2022. It’s Manange’s fourth stint as a minister.
The Nepali Congress-led government has been left in the minority after the Maoist Centre pulled out of the government following changes in the ruling coalition at the centre earlier this month.

Deepak Manange
Nepali gangster-turned-politician
Rajiv Gurung, known by his alias Deepak Manange (Nepali: दीपक मनाङे),[2] is a Nepali gangster[3] and politician, who was elected to Gandaki Provincial Assembly in the 2017 elections from Manang (B) constituency as an independent candidate. He became the minister of sports in the provincial government in April 2021.
Gurung started out as an extortionist in the tourist district of Thamel in the early 1990s. He made an arch-enemy out of fellow gangster Chakre Milan when he led a gang attack against Milan in 2004. He was convicted of assault in 2008 for a separate incident and sentenced to one year. In 2013, he was convicted of attempted murder for the 2004 incident and sentenced to five years. He had yet to complete his sentence when he ran for office in 2017, and was therefore legally ineligible to stand in the election. He was on the run in early 2018 but was arrested by April. The Supreme Court released him on bail in December and he took his oath of office in January 2019. He was arrested again in Janu
