An official probe has summoned ex-Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak to answer questions regarding Nepal's 'Gen Z' protests that resulted in 77 deaths and rocked the political establishment.
The summons comes as part of a wider investigation into the brutal force used by security personnel to quell the protests. The movement was sparked by a social media ban and rampant corruption complaints, eventually leading to the resignation of Prime Minister K P Oli.
As the investigation widens with inquiries involving police officers and other stakeholders, the commission aims to uncover the full scope of events that led to widespread chaos and leadership upheaval.
