Episode Details

Balen Shah, a former rapper turned prime minister, makes history by arresting ex-leader Khadga Prasad Oli, marking the first time a hip-hop artist in power has cuffed an ex-leader. Shah, known for his anti-corruption raps, acts on his promises, arresting Oli in connection with last Septembers anti-corruption protests that resulted in seventy-six deaths. Olis supporters protest, and his Communist Party condemns the move, vowing nationwide protests. Investigators blame Oli and ex-home minister Ramesh Lekhak for negligence, leading to their arrests. This marks a shift towards accountability in Nepals politics.
