Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli’s private residence in Balkot, Bhaktapur, was set on fire on Tuesday morning by Gen Z protesters.
According to officials, demonstrators marched to Oli’s residence early in the morning and attempted to breach security despite police intervention. When officers tried to block them, the protesters refused to retreat and eventually torched the houses inside the compound.
There are two houses at Oli’s Balkot residence, both of which were set ablaze during the incident.
The attack on the prime minister’s home came a day after police opened fire on demonstrators, killing 19 and injuring more than 400 during Monday’s Gen Z protests.
