Nepal’s former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli was arrested on Saturday, a day after the newly formed government of Balendra Shah implemented the probe commission report on the Gen Z protest that rocked the nation last year.Oli, also CPN-UML chair, was arrested in the Gundu area of Bhaktapur district, 12 km east of Kathmandu, Saturday morning, according to the police. CPN-UML workers took to the streets, burning tyres to protest the detention of their party chair. The party has called for a large-scale demonstration on Sunday.Former Home Minister and Nepali Congress leader Ramesh Lekhak has also been arrested from his residence at Katunje in Bhaktapur, the police added. Both Oli and Lekhak have been arrested on charges of their involvement in suppressing the Gen Z movement of September 8 and 9 last year, in which 76 persons, including around 24 youths, were killed. The probe commission formed to investigate the incident has recommended legal action against Oli and Lekhak, among others, under criminal offence.Nepal’s newly formed government, led by Balendra Shah, in its first cabinet meeting on Friday, decided to immediately implement the recommendations made by the commission.”Nobody is above the law,” wrote Home Minister Sudhan Gurung in a social media post after the arrest. “We have taken under control former Prime Minister KP Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak. This is not a revenge against anybody, just the beginning of justice,” he said.”I believe that now the country will take a new direction,” he added.Both Oli and Lekhak have been taken into detention at the Kathmandu District Police Circle in Bhadrakali, said the police. The probe commission has recommended a jail sentence of up to three to ten years for the offence.Oli was taken to Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital for medical examination soon after the detention. He was admitted to the hospital at the advice of the doctors after he was diagnosed with problems related to the heart and kidney, said SSP and spokesperson for the Kathmandu District Police Circle, Pawan Kumar Bhattarai.The CPN-UML has opposed the move by the Balen government to arrest party chair Oli and demanded his immediate release.
