The protests in Nepal have taken a violent turn as angry mobs storm into official residences of ministers.
As per the latest reports, protesting mobs have stormed into the residence of Foreign Minister Arzu Rana Deuba, who is the wife of former PM Sher Bahadur Deuba. The Deuba couple have also been physically attacked by the mob after angry protestors stormed into their residence, journalist Aditya Raj Kaul reported from Kathmandu.
The official residences of PM Oli and the President have been set on fire by the mob, in stark reminder of visuals from Bangladesh last year, where the protesting mobs had attacked PM Sheikh Hasina’s residence.
Hundreds of protestors have gathered outside the parliament. Visuals show incidents of arson and vandalism as protestors storm into the premises.
Earlier today, PM KP Sharma Oli tendered his resignation. Senior Communist leaders are reportedly leaving the country via helicopters.
