Hrs after oath, Nepal govt arrests ex-PM over Gen Z protest deaths
Police detained Oli from his residence in Bhaktapur, on the outskirts of Kathmandu, and picked up Lekhak separately. Scores of policemen were deployed outside Oli’s residence after Shah’s first Cabinet meeting decided to act on the panel’s recommendations. On the new administration’s first major act in office, home minister Sudan Gurung said, “Promise is promise. No one is above law. Former PM Oli and former HM Lekhak are taken under control. It’s just the beginning of justice.”
