Nepal ex-PM Oli arrested over deadly crackdown, dozens dead.

Nepal’s ex-prime minister K.P. Sharma Oli has been arrested over his alleged role in a violent crackdown on anti-government protests that left dozens dead. Authorities acted after an investigation found he failed to stop security forces during the unrest. The protests, driven by youth anger over corruption, led to his resignation and political upheaval, with the case now marking a major push for accountability.
