The inquiry commission investigating the Gen-Z movement incidents last September has allowed former Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli to travel outside the Kathmandu Valley and the country. This decision came after Oli cooperated with the commission, which had previously imposed travel restrictions on him and other officials. The commission lifted the ban on Oli after completing the necessary inquiry work, including questioning him about the events on September 8 and 9, 2025.
In late September last year, the commission restricted Oli, former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak, and other officials while investigating the deadly suppression of youth protests. The protests resulted in 77 fatalities and extensive damage to public and private property. Oli, who had criticized the commission’s neutrality, eventually submitted his statement after facing accusations of bias from the commission chair.
Former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak recently testified before the commission, denying any orders to use force against protesters during the Gen-Z movement. Nepal has witnessed political changes post the protests, with former Chief Justice Sushila Karki now heading the interim government. The interim government’s primary goal is to organize House of Representatives elections on March 5 this year.
