Overview

• Home Minister Om Prakash Aryal said Monday the restrictions are already in effect following recommendations from a judicial inquiry commission.
• The orders cover KP Sharma Oli, ex–home minister Ramesh Lekhak, former NID chief Hutaraj Thapa, and two senior bureaucrats, who must also obtain permission to leave the Kathmandu Valley.
• The commission has further recommended seizing passports to prevent interference with evidence while investigations proceed.
• Youth-led protests over corruption and a brief social‑media ban left at least 72 people dead, torched parliament and other institutions, and caused an estimated $600 million in private‑sector losses.
• Oli has reappeared publicly to deny ordering shootings or planning to flee and has challenged the legitimacy of the Sushila Karki interim administration, which is steering toward elections in March.
