Nepal’s former prime minister, K.P. Sharma Oli, was taken into custody on Saturday as police investigate whether he was negligent in failing to prevent dozens of deaths during Gen Z protests last September.

 

This week, a Nepali panel ⁠which investigated violence during the anti-corruption protests recommended that Oli, 74, be prosecuted for failing to prevent the crackdown on the protests.

 

A total of 76 people were killed in two days of unrest, which led to Oli resigning.

 

“They ⁠took him from his residence this morning,” Min Bahadur Shahi, a senior leader of Oli’s Commmunist Party of Nepal (Unified ⁠Marxist Leninist) told Reuters.

 

Police spokesman Om Adhikari confirmed the detainment of Oli and his home ⁠minister, Ramesh Lekhak.

 

Rapper-turned politician Balendra Shah was sworn in on Friday ⁠as prime minister after a winning the March 5 parliamentary elections.
