Nepal High Court on Monday ordered the release of former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak.

Oli was arrested by Nepal Police from his residence in Bhaktapur in connection with an alleged culpable homicide case tied to the crackdown on the September 2025 Gen Z-led anti-corruption protests.

During the protests, a total of 77 people lost their lives, while large-scale damage was reported to both government and private property, running into billions.
