Nepal's former prime minister, K.P. Sharma Oli, was taken into custody on Saturday as police investigate whether he was negligent in failing to prevent dozens of deaths during Gen Z protests last September.
This week, a Nepali panel which investigated violence during the anti-corruption protests recommended that Oli, 74, be prosecuted for failing to prevent the crackdown on the protests.
Police spokesman Om Adhikari confirmed the detainment of Oli and his home minister, Ramesh Lekhak.

Politics is like p**** - sometimes leaders who seemed untouchable get caught bluffing.

See America. The universe doesn't come to an end when you punish powerful political leaders for committing crimes. As a matter of fact. Only good things come from holding corrupt leaders to account. Namely, the next guy in office is far less likely to abuse power. Come on America. Follow the examples of South Korea and Nepal and demand that Donald Trump be booted out office and put on trial for his crimes.
