Nepal’s Ex-PM Arrested in Probe Tied to Deadly Gen-Z Protests

Former Nepal prime minister KP Sharma Oli was arrested on suspicion in connection with the deadly crackdown on September protests, with ex-home minister Ramesh Lekhak also detained; more than 70 people were killed during the uprising sparked by a social-media shutdown and anger over corruption. Oli was taken to hospital for medical tests given his age and kidney transplants. A government commission urged criminal negligence charges against Oli and other officials; Oli’s lawyers say the detention is unwarranted. The arrests come as Nepal’s new prime minister, Balen Shah, was sworn in amid ongoing investigations and protests from Oli’s party.

Nepal’s ex-PM Oli arrested over Gen Z protest deaths as new PM Shah takes helm

Nepal’s former prime minister K.P. Sharma Oli was arrested on March 28, 2026, as police investigate alleged negligence in failing to prevent dozens of deaths during the Gen Z anti-corruption protests last September; home minister Ramesh Lekhak was also detained. The moves follow a recommendation by a government panel that Oli and Lekhak should be prosecuted for negligence after up to 76 people were killed in two days of unrest that led to Oli’s resignation, with rapper-turned-politician Balendra Shah sworn in as the new prime minister.
