On March 28, pro-monarchy demonstrators clashed with police at Tinkune, vandalising public property and setting vehicles on fire. The rally was part of a series of protests led by the Rastriya Prajatantra Party and other royalist groups, demanding the restoration of the monarchy and the establishment of a Hindu state. Police used bullets and teargas canisters to disperse demonstrators after violence erupted, leaving two dead and several security personnel and protesters injured.
