Former Nepalese Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli was arrested early Saturday, March 28, according to police reports cited by the BBC. Authorities are investigating whether he bears responsibility for the deaths that occurred during the Gen-Z-led protests in September 2025.
The protests, which began as a reaction to a temporary social media ban, evolved into a large-scale anti-corruption youth movement fueled by long-standing economic grievances. At least 77 people were killed during the unrest on September 8 and 9, including 19 young protesters on the first day of the crackdown. The demonstrations were directed against Oli’s government, which had been accused of corruption.
Following the violent suppression of the protests, Oli resigned after failing to control the mass demonstrations. His home minister, Chiren Ramesh Lekhak, had stepped down earlier. An interim government led by former Chief Justice Sushila Karki was later formed, which established a commission headed by former special judge Gauri Bahadur Karki to investigate the uprising and related incidents.
