Defying a curfew, protesters also broke into the parliament building and set it on fire, according to officials. Earlier, they stormed the office of the country’s largest political party, Nepali Congress, and the residences of several prominent politicians.
The demonstrations, fueled by public frustration over corruption, have intensified across the capital, with young people at the forefront of the movement.
