Karki govt undecided on arrests of Oli, Lekhak as security chiefs continue to advise caution

Prime Minister urged not to ‘rush into arrests’ ahead of March 5 elections, amid fears action could spark unrest.

The inquiry commission investigating the loss of lives and property during the Gen Z protests on September 8 and 9 has returned a complaint against former prime minister KP Sharma Oli, then home minister Ramesh Lekhak, and others to the police. The move has complicated the case’s progress, with security officials advising the government to act with caution on the high-profile case.
