Kathmandu, June 1 -- Gauri Bahadur Karki led a government-constituted commission to investigate the incidents of last year's Gen Z protests - on September 8-9. The commission submitted a report recommending action against a number of individuals.

Months later, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), which also separately investigated the Gen Z protests, recommended that Karki himself should be investigated.

Questions have now arisen over the legitimacy of the Karki commission's report and its recommendations, which the government says it is in the process of implementing.

Experts point to the irony that a person tasked with investigating the events is now himself the target of an investigation related to the same events.
