Nepal’s former Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli has been arrested over his alleged role in a deadly crackdown on anti-government protests in 2025. Authorities say he failed to prevent excessive police force during Gen Z-led demonstrations, which resulted in dozens of deaths and widespread unrest. Former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak was also detained. The arrests followed a government probe recommending prosecution for negligence. The protests, driven by youth anger over corruption, led to Oli’s resignation and a major political shift in Nepal. (PC: AP)
