The unrest, led largely by Gen Z activists, escalated into what observers are calling outright anarchy. Demonstrators stormed the Parliament, the Prime Minister’s office, and even the Supreme Court, torching key institutions across Kathmandu. Video shared by outlets including RadioGenoa, Sputnik India, and RT shows helicopters evacuating officials while mobs burn the homes of senior politicians.

At least 19 people have been killed and hundreds injured after police responded with tear gas, rubber bullets, and live ammunition. Rather than subduing the movement, the crackdown only intensified the fury.

Among the most shocking scenes:

• The Parliament, Supreme Court, presidential office, ruling party headquarters, and major media houses—including Kantipur Publications—were set ablaze.

• Communist leaders’ homes were stormed and torched. The wife of former Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal was reportedly burned alive, according to Khabarhub.

• Former Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba and his wife, ex-Foreign Minister Arzu Rana Deuba, were left bloodied after an attack by protesters.

• Finance Minister Bishnu Paudel was dragged from his car and beaten, as captured in viral video clips.

Sputnik India reported that even the Prime Minister’s residence was engulfed in flames before K.P. Sharma Oli resigned under mounting pressure. Multiple ministers stepped down as well, and some media outlets claimed President Ram Chandra Paudel also tendered his resignation, though this remains unconfirmed.

The government has since reversed its social media ban—which targeted platforms like Facebook and YouTube for failing to register—but the concession has done little to slow the revolt. Instead, protesters remain on the streets, parading humiliated officials and continuing to burn symbols of authority.

What began as opposition to corruption and censorship has now morphed into a nationwide uprising, leaving the Himalayan republic leaderless, unstable, and in freefall.
