A National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) investigation report concludes that the Gen Z protests on September 8 and 9, 2025, were pre-planned to be violent and destructive, rather than spontaneous. The report indicates that elements with malicious intent infiltrated the demonstrations, inciting violence and preparing to set fire to the parliament building, with preparations beginning digitally before the event.

• The NHRC report suggests that a group planned to 'hijack' the protest, with preparations for violence starting through digital means, including AI-generated images of buildings being set ablaze.
• A TikTok account named 'wake up Nepal' allegedly made a public call to be ready with Molotov cocktails for the protest.
• The report points to a conspiracy to use students as human shields, with a fake Nepal Police Facebook page spreading the idea that police would not use force on students in uniform.
• Sudan Gurung of Hami Nepal is identified as having taken leadership of the crowd, after which demonstrators breached security barricades and attempted to enter a restricted zone, leading to clashes with security personnel.
• A biker group wearing black t-shirts with 'TOB' written on them arrived and incited the crowd, using students as human shields while pelting stones and committing arson.
