A Nepal inquiry commission investigating GenZ protest casualties has imposed travel restrictions on five former government officials. The panel blocked former Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli and ex-Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak from international travel pending potential interrogation. Former Home Secretary Gokarna Mani Duwadi, ex-National Investigation Department Chief Hutaraj Thapa and former Kathmandu Chief District Officer Chhabi Rijal face identical restrictions. The officials cannot leave Kathmandu Valley without authorization.
September's demonstrations resulted in at least 89 deaths across Nepal, beginning with 19 fatalities from police gunfire on the initial protest days. Former Special Court Chairperson Gauri Bahadur Karki leads the commission tasked with determining causes and recommending accountability measures. Interim leader Sushila Karki has scheduled House of Representatives elections for March 5. Property destruction exceeded NPR 180 billion combined between public infrastructure and private sector assets.
