Former Nepali PM KP Sharma Oli Arrested For Atrocities Committed During Gen-Z Protest

Cadres and supporters of the CPN-UML (Communist Party of Nepal- Unified Marxist Leninist) gather at the party headquarters in Lalitpur, Nepal, on March 28, 2026, following the arrest of party chair KP Sharma Oli. The newly formed government under Balendra Shah on March 27 decides to implement the recommendations of an investigation commission led by former Justice Gauribahadur Karki, which examined the Gen-Z Movement incident of September 2025. Police arrest Oli from his residence in Gundu, Bhaktapur, for investigation in a case related to an offence involving loss of life. The arrest of Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak follows a formal complaint filed by the Home Ministry, triggering an investigation and leading to the issuance of arrest warrants. According to the police, the action is part of implementing recommendations made by a commission led by former Special Court judge Gauri Bahadur Karki. The commission recommends that Oli, Lekhak, and then Inspector General of Police Chandra Kuber Khapung be charged under Sections 181 and 182 of the National Penal Code for criminal negligence, with a proposed prison sentence of up to 10 years.
