8 March 2026

Gauri Bahadur Karki, former Chief Justice and Chair of the high-level inquiry committee formed to investigate the atrocities committed during the Gen-Z protest of September 2025, arrives at the Office of the Prime Minister and Council of Ministers to submit the final report in Kathmandu, Nepal, on March 8, 2026. The inquiry commission led by former judge Gauri Bahadur Karki submits its report to Prime Minister Sushila Karki, investigating the casualties and destruction during the Gen-Z movement on September 8 and 9, 2025. A team including commission coordinator Karki, former DIG Bigyanraj Sharma, and legal expert Bishweshwor Bhandari hands over the report at the Office of the Council of Ministers in Singha Durbar. The Gen-Z protest of September last year calls for transparency and accountability, as well as an end to the social media ban, and turns violent near the federal parliament. In response, police forces use water cannons, tear gas, and live ammunition, even firing from within the parliament building after protestors breach the gates and set the entrance ablaze. At least 77 people are confirmed dead in the protest to date, while nearly two dozen protestors are shot by the security forces on a single day. The next day, after rising violence and protest, then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, who is adamant about leaving power, resigns and is succeeded by former Chief Justice Sushila Karki as interim Prime Minister. Oli publicly denies accusations of ordering a crackdown on protestors, but his administration is heavily criticized for its handling of the unrest.
