Nepal’s Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli has resigned following days of intense anti-government protests and is reportedly preparing to leave the country under the pretext of medical treatment.

According to Firstpost, Oli’s destination is likely Dubai, with India Today reporting that he requested military assistance to exit the country safely. He also held a final phone call with Army Chief Gen. Ashok Raj before stepping down. Sources confirm that Himalaya Airlines has been readied for his departure.

Meanwhile, protesters set fire to homes of top leaders, including Oli’s own residence, former PM Sher Bahadur Deuba’s house, President Ram Chandra Paudel’s residence, Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak’s home, and Maoist leader Pushpa Kamal Dahal Prachanda’s residence. Demonstrators also torched parts of Nepal’s parliament building and stormed the historic Singha Durbar complex.
