Former Nepal Pm Kp Sharma Oli Arrested Over 2025 Gen Z Protest Crackdown | N18g | 4k

Former Nepal Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli was arrested on Saturday in connection with the deadly September 2025 youth-led protests, known as the ‘Gen Z revolution’, which erupted over governance failures, corruption, unemployment, and political instability. Oli was taken from his residence in Gundu, Bhaktapur, while former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak was arrested earlier from Suryabinayak. Police confirmed that both arrests will proceed according to the law, following a formal complaint filed by the Home Ministry and subsequent investigation. A government-backed report recommended prosecuting Oli and other officials, noting that although no explicit order to shoot protesters was found, authorities failed to control the firing, resulting in casualties, including minors. The protests claimed 77 lives and caused widespread damage to government and private property. Newly appointed Home Minister Sudan Gurung, a key figure in the uprising, emphasized that the arrests represent justice, not revenge, signaling a new direction for Nepal’s governance. This marks a historic accountability step for former leaders.
