Moriarty said in cable dated Sunday, April 23, 2006 -- and recently leaked by Wikileaks, that then Indian Ambassador to Nepal Shiv Shanker Mukherjee believed that the US fears that "the mob and Maoists might prevent the parties from accepting a transfer of power was justified." Similarly, Chinese envoy Sun Heping was very worried about growing Maoist clout in Nepal.

Moriarty stated that he requested the Indian government to detain some Maoist leaders in India to exercise leverage over the Maoists approached power. "The ambassador further noted that the Maoists would not need to heed India or the US once they seized power, and that India's real leverage was India's ability to detain Maoist leaders currently on Indian soil.
