Nepal has imposed travel bans on ousted Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and former senior government officials, barring them from even leaving the Kathmandu valley without prior permission as part of an ongoing investigation regarding the violent Gen Z protest earlier this month. The announcement was made by Nepal’s Interior Minister on Monday (September 29).

Ban already in effect

According to an AFP report, apart from Oli, travel bans have also been imposed on former home minister Ramesh Lekhak, former head of the National Investigation Department security agency, Hutaraj Thapa, and two other senior bureaucrats.

The report, quoting Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal, further states that the ban is “already in effect.”
