Nara Shumsher Jang Bahadur Rana, KCVO, was the second police chief of Nepal Police after the force was established in the year 2007 B.S. (1951 C.E.). He remained chief for two years before Gyan Bahadur Yakthumba succeeded him as police chief.[1]

Nara Shumsher J.B.R. was honored by the government of Nepal as the Father of Nepali Sports for his contribution, both as a player and an official, to Nepali sports. He was the first Nepali player to get 'Merit Award' from the Olympic Council of Asia.

Praised in the sporting fraternity, Rana, however, is despised by the common people for his involvement in the killing of four martyrs Shukraraj Shastri, Dharma Bhakta Mathema, Dashrath Chand and Gangalal Shrestha. He supervised the killing of the four martyrs and is believed to have shot Gangalal and Dashrath Chand himself, after the executioner deputed to shoot them hesitated.[2]
