KATHMANDU: The Inquiry Commission formed to investigate atrocities during Gen Z movement has returned a complaint filed against former Prime Minister KP Oli and former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak within the Kathmandu District Police Range.

According to Commission member Bigyanraj Sharma, the panel decided on Thursday to send the complaint back to the Kathmanduu Police.

“Conducting detailed investigations or prosecuting offenders in criminal cases is not within the commission’s jurisdiction,” Sharma said.

“Nepali law clearly empowers government mechanisms to immediately investigate and take action against anyone involved in criminal offenses.”

The commission clarified that its report is not required for criminal investigations.

On October 7, four individuals, including Purushottam Khatri, father of Rasik Khatri who died during the Gen Z movement, had filed complaints demanding investigation into crimes against humanity and the state against Oli and Lekhak.

However, the Kathmanduu Police Range forwarded the complaint to the commission without registering it.
