Nepal Gen Z Protest Probe Panel Plans to Summon KP Oli
A group of people called a commission is looking into what happened during some big protests in Nepal that took place on September 8 and 9.
During these protests, 76 people were killed, including 19 young people on the first day.
The commission, which was formed on September 21, has been talking to police officers and other people involved.
They are planning to call the former prime minister, KP Sharma Oli, and the former home minister, Ramesh Lekhak, to ask them questions.
The commission has a deadline of three months to finish their investigation and submit a report.
They might ask for more time if they need it.
The law says they can't share details of their investigation until it's finished.
