The Nepal Police has concluded that the security situation of the country has reached a critical stage due to the violent protests that broke out on August 24. In an internal report prepared by the police, it was concluded that with the destruction after the demonstration, the security personnel have become 'mentally deranged' and 'demoralised'. The police have already informed Home Minister Omprakash Aryal about the gist of the report. The police report has not been made public.
"It is becoming difficult to maintain law and order due to the burnt and damaged barracks, offices, clothes and vehicles, and the police personnel who are mentally deranged are in a demoralized state," the report said, "Due to the protests of old political parties, supporters/fraternal organizations, student organizations under various pretexts, there may be double clashes and encounters."
The police have also analyzed that there is a risk of the emergence of armed armed groups on this occasion. With the political changes of 2062/63, the emergence of armed groups in different parts of the country and the risk of a repeat of the same has been pointed out. The report mentions that the weapons stolen from the police can be used in various crimes in the society as a security challenge.
During the Jen-G uprising, 3 policemen were killed by the beating of protesters, and more than 450 police barracks/offices were vandalized and set on fire. During this process, more than 1,200 weapons were looted and around 100,000 rounds of ammunition also disappeared from the police records. The report pointed out that there is fear in the general public due to the prisoners escaping from the prison, and other heinous criminal incidents may increase in the society due to the escaped prisoners, so there is a serious security challenge for the coming days. 14,043 prisoners escaped from 26 prisons and jails due to violence, and more than 7,000 are still absconding.
The police has raised the challenges under the heading 'security challenges that have arisen and may increase after the movement'. It is mentioned in the report that there may be an increase in internal conflict between disaffected parties within Gen-G, misinformation and disinformation on social media along with cyber crime, misinformation and rumor spreading activities through various means, and the manipulation of self-interested forces.
197 complete and 258 police structures have been partially damaged in violence and arson after the Gen-G movement. 1 thousand 315 rubber bullets, 2 thousand 220 blank rounds, 3 thousand 223 tear gas cells were not found in the records.
