Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar is among the growing number of victims who were killed during the Nepal Gen Z protest that turned violent after security forces killed 19 youths on Monday and injured 500 others.
The attack comes as violent Gen-Z-led protests continued in Nepal for the second day despite the government announcing that it had lifted the ban on social media platforms. Demonstrators demanded Oli’s ouster and the government’s dismissal after two more people were killed on the second day of the demonstrations, pushing the death toll to 22 and leaving over 300 injured.
Major government and political landmarks across Nepal have come under attack as mobs set fire to Singh Durbar, the central administrative complex in Kathmandu, and Sheetal Niwas, the presidential residence. Residence of President Ram Chandra Paudel, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, and former premiers Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda’ and Sher Bahadur Deuba were also torched.
