Kumar Gorakh SJB Rana, son-in-law of late King Birendra, left  for Bangkok Wednesday for further medical treatment, family sources said.

He survived the June 1 carnage at the Narayanihiti Royal Palace with serious injuries. His wife, Princess Shruti, was killed in the shoot-out started by Crown Prince Dipendra. The only daughter of the late King and Queen left behind two children. Kumar Gorakh is the first of four survivors to go abroad for treatment; Queen Komal is among the survivors.

The Royal Palace has issued a statement denying King Gyanendra and the Queen are travelling abroad in the near future. Some newspapers reported the King was going abroad for medical treatment. King Birendra and Queen Aishwarya were killed in the carnage.
