The Nepal protests originally started after the ruling Nepal government decided to ban 26 social media sites, including Facebook, WhatsApp, X, Instagram, and YouTube, among others, due to non-compliance with a deadline to register with Nepal's Ministry of Communication and Information Technology.

This prompted people to come out on the streets, and soon they started violently protesting against the alleged corruption in the country. So far at least 19 people have lost their lives due to the Nepal protests, and more than 500 people have been injured due to the fights at the Federal Parliament and other parts of Kathmandu city.

Nepal's Prime Minister, KP Sharma Oli, also resigned after violent protests against 'corruption' and a social media ban. However, this ban was lifted a day after it was imposed.

As the protests entered the third day, the protestors in Nepal started looking for government officials and politicians to capture and beat them. People have also set government buildings and politicians' homes on fire amid the widespread criticism against Nepal's political elite and over alleged corruption in the nation.
