The National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has recommended investigations into former Prime Minister Sushila Karki, filmmaker Nischal Basnet, vlogger Sisan Baniya, businessman Durga Prasai, and the TOB biker group for their alleged roles in inciting violence during the Gen Z protests. The commission's report suggests these individuals and groups may have contributed to disturbances in public peace and order, and caused human and physical damages.

  • The NHRC report claims the TOB biker group hijacked the Gen Z protest, using students as human shields and inciting violence, including attempts to set fire to the Parliament building.
  • The commission also highlighted weaknesses in the Nepali Army's response, citing a lack of sensitivity and security lapses that allowed vandalism and arson in sensitive areas like Singha Durbar and the President's residence.
  • Filmmakers Aman Pratap Adhikari, Bibek Thapaliya, Bhagya Neupane, Tanka Dahal, and Victor Poudel have also been named in the NHRC report for potential investigation regarding their public expressions and statements.
  • The report recommends identifying and providing relief and compensation to 12 unidentified deceased individuals from the violent protest on Bhadra 24.
  • The NHRC recommended investigating Sushila Karki's role, examining how her social media statements and activism may have directed the movement.
