Viral prankster from 2022 elections applies for election police job

During last elections, ‘midi bhai’ from Jhugagaun in Kapilvastu went viral after wearing a police uniform and jokingly telling his friends not to fear the law.

When a short TikTok clip stating, “Sagar Basante, Krishne, why are you scared? Your elder brother is finally going to apply for Midi (corruption of the Nepali term Myadi, or election police),” resurfaced last week. It reignited nationwide attention around a familiar face. For many young Nepalis scrolling through social media, the slang bravado was instantly recognisable.
