Scenes of chaos and violence created by the monarchist protesters who dispersed from the three-cornered meeting place are now scattered on social media. A journalist who was shooting a video after reaching a building set on fire by the protestors was also burnt to death.

The situation went out of control due to the failure of the police and security personnel to control the chaos of the protesters who were creating riots by setting fire and vandalism in places. While the police circle at Koteshwar is only a few hundred meters away from Bhatbhateni.

The strange thing is that the demonstrators who were dispersed by the police from Tinkune divided into small groups and some went through the Bagmati Corridor to set fire to the party office of the CPN United Samajwadi Party in Aloknagar. Soon after, another group reached Bhatbhateni supermarket and started pelting stones and looting.

In the beginning, although there was an attack on the structure of Bhatbhateni and throwing things, it seems that gradually the crowd is entering inside Bhatbhateni and looting the goods. Kalyan Gurung, the owner of Bhatbhateni, said that the damage is being assessed. He said that the incident is being investigated internally.

In a press conference held at the Ministry of Home Affairs, the media asked the Home Secretary whether there was a weakness in information or a weakness in command control. Home Joint Secretary Chibi Rizal said that they did not expect that the situation would go to this extent. Although the Ministry of Home Affairs has said that action will be taken against Sanglan in violent activities and looting, the question has been raised as to why the security command was lax in this incident.

An employee working at Bhatbhateni in Koteshwar said that the security personnel arrived only 40 minutes after the stone pelting and attack. The employee said, '60 to 70 people entered to loot expensive items such as watches, mobile phones, liquor etc. from the store on the ground floor. After the police did not come for a long time, they brought vegetables and fruits from the food stall outside and therefore attacked.'

When all the details of the attack and robbery were live on Facebook, Tik Tok, there was no situation that the police would not get the information . But because the police did not arrive in time, the looting and vandalism continued uninterrupted. The employee said, 'When the police did not come, people walking on the streets also came and started looting the goods.' We couldn't do anything .'

In a public video on social media, it was seen that the security guards were not able to stop those who returned after entering the store after looting and taking advantage of the lack of security to break in one after another.

One of the royalist protestors set fire to a house in Three Corners, and the party office of the United Samajwadi Party in Aloknagar, on the banks of the Bagmati River, was set ablaze. According to the Kantipur correspondent who was at the scene, at first, a group of 15/20 people brought out the chairs and documents inside the office and burnt them. After that, the police who arrived immediately dispersed them and returned. Shortly after the police returned, the protestors set fire to the office. Suddenly, the fire was lit. The police who were nearby could not do anything.

The only commonality seen in today's incidents of arson and looting is that protesters attack homes and structures indiscriminately. Most of the footage of where the protestors are going and what they are trying to do was live on social media. To some extent, the work of giving instructions and giving provocative expressions through social media was also being done simultaneously. But even though there were many reports, the police failed to control the crowd and the situation.

According to the Kathmandu Valley Police Office, there were two big programs of Samajwadi Morcha and Rajavadi in Kathmandu today. Initially, 3500 policemen were to be deployed to protect it and maintain peace. Later, it was increased to around 4,000. 2,000 armed policemen were deployed for both of today's events.

About one and a half hundred policemen were deployed to limit the movement in the three corner area and prevent the crowd from coming towards the parliament building. According to police sources, many security personnel were deployed in anticipation that the royalists could disrupt the programs of the Maoists, Unified Socialists, Nepal Communist Party, and Nepal Samajwadi Party affiliated to the front. While the situation was out of control in the three-cornered area. The police stopped here to assess the situation. In an informal conversation with

Kantipur, some police officers said that they did not expect the crowd to be so provocative. Although the Rajawadis said that they would hold a peaceful protest program, they said that they were presented in a way to incite violence. A police officer said, 'When Durga Prasai tried to incite the crowd by driving her car over the crowd, the situation worsened.'

The officer said that the police had to be divided into small groups all over the area as the attack started at the office in the three corner area. The royalists started arson at the office of Kantipur TV, a business complex and half a dozen houses where people were living, the office of the Annapurna Post, and the office of the Integrated Samajwadi in the Tinkune area. The police officer says, 'That's when the police lost the chain of command.'

Former DIG Keshav Adhikari says that today's incident reminds us of the robbery incident that took place in the evening at Lhotse Mall at New Bus Park on February 5, 2079 and the incident that happened at Balkumari on December 13, 2080. He said, 'It was seen that the field commanders of the police did not learn from past incidents.' He said that the access of the field commander could not be established to the information that was being developed. He said, 'It seemed as if the police could not even understand the strategy of the demonstrators.'
