Kathmandu witnessed scenes of chaos and disbelief as the family of Nepal’s Prime Minister reportedly fled the capital by helicopter, while angry demonstrators filled the streets demanding justice and accountability.
Protests Boil Over
For weeks, frustration had been building across Nepal. Allegations of corruption, abuse of power, and misuse of public resources tied to the Prime Minister’s family sparked outrage nationwide.
This weekend, that anger exploded into full-scale protests. Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside government buildings, chanting slogans, waving flags, and demanding that the Prime Minister step down.
What began as a peaceful demonstration quickly turned volatile:
- Barricades were torn down.
- Fires burned in the streets of Kathmandu.
- Police in riot gear clashed with protesters, using tear gas and batons.
The Helicopter Escape
As the protests intensified, eyewitnesses reported seeing a military helicopter lifting off from a secured government compound. Rumors spread quickly that it was carrying the Prime Minister’s family, who had chosen to leave the capital rather than face the wrath of the public.
Videos posted online show crowds pointing to the sky as the helicopter flew overhead, fueling anger that the family was escaping instead of answering for the allegations.
One protester shouted:
“They’re running away while we suffer! If they are innocent, why do they flee like criminals?”
Mounting Pressure
The dramatic escape has only added fuel to the fire. Opposition leaders have condemned the act, calling it proof that the Prime Minister’s family has something to hide.
International observers are now watching closely, warning that Nepal could be on the brink of a political crisis if the government does not respond to the people’s demands.
The Bigger Picture
For many Nepali citizens, this is not just about corruption — it’s about trust in leadership and whether the country’s democracy can withstand scandal after scandal.
“This is a turning point,” said one political analyst. “If leaders believe they can escape accountability with helicopters and foreign safe havens, the people will never forgive them.”
