A day after Nepal's new prime minister was sworn in, former Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and another man were arrested in Kathmandu on Saturday in connection with the deaths of at least 76 people during two days of protests last September, the Times of India reports. The two men are accused of failing to prevent the deaths during the "Generation Z" protests, which led to Oli's resignation and the collapse of his government. The arrests follow a formal complaint filed by the Home Ministry, which triggered an investigation and led to the issuance of arrest warrants. Oli's party has denounced the move as "political revenge" and lacking in legal basis.
