KATHMANDU: A high-level probe commission formed to investigate the crackdown during the Gen-Z protests on the 23rd and 24th of Bhadra 2082, has prepared a report recommending criminal investigations against key state actors, including former Prime Minister K. P. Sharma Oli.
The report, which has not yet been officially made public by the government, has surfaced through sources and was obtained by Jana Aastha Weekly and provided to Fiscal Nepal. The full contents of the report are now in circulation, raising serious political and legal questions.
Top Leadership Under ScrutinyAccording to the leaked findings, the commission has recommended initiating criminal proceedings against:
Former Prime Minister K. P. Sharma OliFormer Home Minister Ramesh LekhakInspector General of Police Chandra Kuwar Khapung
The commission has concluded that there are sufficient grounds to pursue investigations under criminal liability related to the handling of the protest suppression.
Report Yet to Be Officially ReleasedDespite the gravity of the findings, the government has not formally released the report, prompting concerns over transparency and accountability. The leak has intensified public discourse, particularly among youth groups and civil society, who had been demanding an independent investigation into the incidents.
Background of the Gen-Z MovementThe Gen-Z protest, which took place over two consecutive days, drew significant participation from young citizens demanding systemic reforms, accountability, and policy changes. The movement gained national attention due to the scale of mobilization and the subsequent use of force by security agencies.
Implications for Governance and Rule of LawIf formally endorsed and acted upon, the commission’s recommendations could trigger one of the most significant legal and political confrontations in recent years, directly implicating top-tier leadership in alleged misuse of state power.
The report’s emergence ahead of any official disclosure is likely to increase pressure on the government to make the findings public and clarify its position on initiating legal proceedings.
