Residence of Former PM Sher Bahadur Deuba in Kathmandu Being Demolished After Arson Attack

Kathmandu. The private residence of former Prime Minister and former Nepali Congress President Sher Bahadur Deuba in Budhanilkantha, Kathmandu, has begun to be demolished. The house, which was completely damaged after an angry mob set it on fire during the 'Genji' demonstration on Bhadra 23 and 24, is now being rapidly torn down.

The bungalow, which was targeted by protesters, was deemed unusable for security and reconstruction purposes after its structure was ravaged by the fire, leading to the start of its demolition. Workers can be seen removing windows, doors, and parts of the roof of the house.

During the demonstration at that time, participants expressed anger towards the political leadership, crossed the wall of Deuba's house, entered the premises, and set it on fire. That incident sent major ripples through Nepali politics and also raised questions about security arrangements.
