Protests in Nepal led to the overthrow of Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Oli after police fired on anti-corruption demonstrators, resulting in over 70 deaths. The unrest, fueled by youth anger over corruption and inequality, saw widespread violence and looting. Sushila Karki, Nepal's first female chief justice, became interim prime minister following online support. The upheaval reflects a broader trend of generational change and government instability in South Asia, mirroring similar events in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
