Nepal Police

The Nepal Police is the national law enforcement agency of Nepal, responsible for maintaining law and order, preventing crime, and ensuring public safety. Recent news highlights the organization's involvement in politically sensitive events. Specifically, the Nepal Police recently arrested a former prime minister and a former home minister in connection with deaths that occurred during protests in September. Furthermore, a BBC investigation revealed that the former police chief issued an order authorizing the use of lethal force against unarmed protesters, including young people, during Gen Z protests in Kathmandu, resulting in multiple fatalities. These events have brought scrutiny to the Nepal Police regarding its handling of protests, use of force, and potential accountability for alleged human rights violations, raising significant concerns about police conduct and oversight.
