The Kathmandu District Court in Nepal has granted a two-day remand to former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli as part of an investigation into the Gen-Z protests that took place on September 8 and 9, 2025. The court's decision allows police to continue questioning him regarding the violence and casualties that occurred during the protests. Oli, who was arrested last Saturday at his residence in Gundu, is currently hospitalized at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital due to health issues, which has necessitated that investigators conduct their questioning at the hospital. Police spokesperson Pawan Kumar Bhattarai indicated that doctors have advised against discharging Oli at this time. Alongside Oli, former home minister Ramesh Lekhak remains in custody, with his statement already recorded. Both leaders were arrested following recommendations from a probe commission led by former judge Gauri Bahadur Karki, which was established to investigate the events surrounding the protests.
