On August 23, a group wearing black t-shirts and jackets arrived riding a motorbike while the Gen-G movement was taking place. Their t-shirts and jackets had 'TOB' written on them. Some even carried black flags with 'TOB' written on them. It is being accused of disrupting the peaceful movement by inciting the crowd by blaring the silencer. Even though many questions have been raised about many such scenes and groups seen in the movement since then, the police has started the investigation only late.

After the suspicious interest and discussion about 'TOB' increased, many related videos were found when Kantipur searched using the 'Open Source Intelligence' (OSINT) method. After watching those videos, most of the youths of the 'TOB' group who came to the demonstration on 23 August had driven the 'Royal Enfield'. Some young people are also seen wearing black masks. 

The group was led by a man with long hair, tattoos all over his arms and rings in his ears. His name is confirmed to be Tenzing Dawa La. While the T-shirts worn by the others on the motorcycle only read 'TOB', the T-shirt worn by Tenzing also read 'TOB' along with 'Tibetan Original Blood'.

A video of him giving instructions to a youth on a motorcycle is also found on social media. In some videos, he is seen carrying a 'walkie talkie'. Sometimes Tenzing seems restrained and sometimes he is doing outrageous activities. Somewhere he has also said, "Don't throw stones". In a video, he is heard saying 'our country, our kingdom'. In another video, Tenzing said, 'All are brothers, not sisters, let's stay here, no one needs to run away. Let's keep the bikes on the road one by one. Let's keep people behind.' 

But there are also videos of him using obscene words to excite the crowd. In a video posted on , a Facebook page called Khabar Bulletin TV, on 24 August, he said, "No, I am ready to go to the checkpoint tomorrow, but no... but I want my country back." My country, my san.' 

There is also a Facebook group named 'Tibetan Original Blood' written on a T-shirt worn by Tenzing, which was opened in 2012. By the time this content is prepared, there are 1500 members in the 'Tibetan Original Blood' group. This group is found to be a supporter of the 'Free Tibet Movement'. As written in the introduction section of the group, Tibetans from all over the world and supporters of the "Free Tibet Movement" can join. It says, 'Tibetan Original Blood' is a forum where Tibetans from all over the world and supporters of a free Tibet can connect. They share ideas, discuss a wide range of topics from politics and philosophy to music and current events in Tibet and beyond. This blog is not owned by any person, organization, political party, faction or sect.'

Two photos written 'Free Tibet' were posted in that group on 29 October 2014, with the caption 'Free Tibet Till Die'

(Free Tibet as long as life lasts). On the same day, 3 photos and content in Tibetan language were also posted along with Dalai Lama's statement. The group contains a lot of content related to the Dalai Lama and the Free Tibet Movement.  This group consists of Tenzing Tshering Baitsang, Tenzing Gafel and Tenzing Tibet Rabang admin (group manager). Among these, Tenzing Tshering Baitsang, Tenzing Gafel's account is currently locked. But the Tenzing of this account and the Tenzing wearing the 'TOB' jacket of the Kathmandu performance seem to be different people.  It is mentioned that the address of Tenzing Tibet Rabyang, the owner of the Facebook group 'Tibetan Original Blood', is Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh, India. In the bio of that account, it is mentioned that he works for 'Students for Free Tibet'.

'Student for Free Tibet'

is also a part of 'Free Tibet Movement'. Tenzing Tibet Rabyang's account has posted photos with the Dalai Lama. On 9 December 2012, a post was made from that account saying 'Solidarity with Tibet'. But since 12 July 2018 this account seems to be inactive.  Since , Tenzing, who has been the most active in the Gen-G demonstration, even has TOB and Tibetan original blood written in full form on his jacket, but this group claims that they are different from the 'Tibetan Movement'. Looking at social media, an account called 'TOB Blood'

has been found on Tiktok and an account called 'TOB'

has been found on Instagram. Tiktok account has been active since last April and Instagram since March. The bio of the Instagram account reads 'The Original Brothers'.  But the video and photos of the movement have also been uploaded on the Tiktok account written as 'TOB Blood'. In this way, TikTok account is presented as Tibetan original blood.  Kantipur contacted the members of the 'TOB' group after finding the full form of TOB different when looking at the Facebook group and other social media accounts. The member claimed that they were not 'Tibetan Original Blood' but 'The Original Brothers'. That member told Kantipur, "This is a bikers group. We have been active since almost two years ago. We have about 100 members from different castes in our bikers group. The controversy that has come up now is beyond the facts. The members said that they joined the movement because they also belong to the Gen-G generation.  The member said that the leaders of his group were Tenzing Dawa and Hakeem. Surendra Gurung aka Hakeem is a rapper. Hakim also said that he was the advisor of that group. "I only helped the brothers when they requested. Their biker group is TOB. That group goes biking. Not an official or registered organization anywhere. It started about 2 years ago. According to the documents received by Kantipur, Dawa was born on 21st January 2053 in Kathmandu. He is proud of his Tibetan ancestry. However, when questioned about the wording and 'Free Tibet Movement' printed on the jacket he was wearing, Hakeem said that they are not related to the 'Free Tibet Movement'. We do not know anything about that Facebook group. Tenzing Bhai's Baje, Baraju is also from Tibet. He wore a jacket to show his identity. But they said it was a group of bikers. But this group has no other connection.'

Tenzing Dawa is found to be a tattoo artist by profession. He has been working as a tattoo artist in Buddh since 2008. In the video posted by Tenzing on social media, it is also seen that he has done tattoo work. But the photo/video of him carrying a pistol on the bridge of the electricity market has gone viral on social media. After the overall dispute escalated, he contacted the police on Sunday. The police have detained him for further investigation.  

Kathmandu Police Chief SSP Ramesh Thapa confirmed that a police investigation is underway into the matter of the public video, but he did not reveal details. Dawa has been kept in custody at Kathmandu District Police Complex Bhadrakali till late on Sunday.

Dawa told the police that the pistol was not genuine. "He said no, but he made a video of the pistol and put it on social media to spread panic," said a police officer, "We will verify some things again on Monday and decide what to do."

According to that police officer, the video that is now viral is not from 23 August but from last April. The police officer said, "When the discussion started saying that the role of people wearing TOB t-shirts and jackets in the movement was mysterious, a search was started about wearing such t-shirts. At the same time, the old video may have gone viral."

An officer of the Kathmandu police complex says, "There have been different facts about the full name of TOB," he said, "but a person wearing such a t-shirt was also seen carrying a weapon." This is the subject of research, which we are doing.' 

Sudan also questioned 

After the Gen-G movement, questions have been raised about Sudan Gurung, who was in the forefront of most of the discussions in Jangi Adda, Sheetalniwas. The reason for that is the collaboration between his organization 'Hami Nepal' and 'Students of a Free Tibet'.  The 'Students of a Free Tibet' organization established in New York in 1994 by Tibetans and young student supporters has put 'Hami Nepal' on its website as well.  

'Students of a Free Tibet's website clearly states - 'Unite in support of the Tibetan people's struggle for independence.' Similarly, it is clearly stated about the purpose, 'We campaign for the fundamental right of Tibetans to political freedom through education and non-violent action.' 

Nepal has been committed to the One China policy. According to the principle of respecting each other's sovereignty and integrity, activities related to Free-Tibet in Nepal are prohibited in Nepal. In that case, a question has been raised about the relationship between 'Hami Nepal' and Free-Tibet.

Sudan has denied that it is only trying to defame them by linking them with Free-Tibet and 'TOB'. We in Nepal have not contributed even a single dollar to any such organization, from USAID to which INGO have we taken money? Show that only one rupee, one dollar was taken from foreign INGOs," he challenged. He said that since the website is also under construction, detailed details will also be made public in a transparent manner.

'If my surname was Paudel, Thapa or Bhattarai, there would have been no question'

Tasi Lhajom has been dragged into the controversy with the talk of becoming a minister representing Gen-G. Why and how did the dispute arise? What is his background? Kantipur's conversation with Tasi : 

With the talk of becoming a minister, your name and citizenship have come into controversy, right?

It's because I'm a tribe. Because if my name was Tasi Poudel, Thapa, Bhattarai or Ghimire, such a thing would not have arisen. But I became Tasi Lhazom. I belong to a marginalized community. I came from Limi Valley, a place that most Nepalese have never heard of. That may be the reason. The face also started raising questions about not looking like a Nepali. My Nepali dialect is not good either. Because it is not my mother tongue. It is said that I had to disclose my relationship due to doubt about my identity.

You studied at Columbia University and that university says Tibetan Diaspora in your profile. Now your profile has been suddenly removed after this controversy, what is your opinion on this matter?  I was awarded a fellowship at Columbia University. That was related to green entrepreneurship. That fellowship was for Tibetans and ethnic Tibetans as well. I and one other Nepalese and Indian were fellows in the fellowship given to Tibetans and ethnic Tibetans living in the Himalayan range. We all had cultural similarities. I don't even know why the university deleted my profile. Looking at my face and looking at my background, I am not really Nepali. I don't know why it was removed. I was there to learn green entrepreneurship skills.  How many years ago did you get there? 

is last year's thing. It was a 2 and a half week course. I have completed the selection process and got selected from the competition. We, together with the youth, have run a cooperative in Limi, the Limi Unity Multipurpose Cooperative Society. I am one of its founders. We are doing eco tourism out of it. Because that is the best way to generate income for our village. Thinking that it would be very good if tourism could be promoted. 

What kind of political, non-political, social organization do you currently work in Nepal? How did you get involved in the Zen-G movement? 

I have led the youth of Himal in the Zen-G movement. I felt that if I did not actively lead, we would not participate in the future. So I led it in the beginning. My friends and I started Indigenous Gen-G Collectives because not only the youth of the Himalayan region but also the tribal youth should be led. On 8th September I participated in the protest all day. The next day at the Buddhist we lit a candle in memory of the martyrs.  In the days after the

movement, I also participated in the discussion team to see if the youth of marginalized areas would be left out. What people don't realize is that Gen-G is not about a single race or community. There is also diversity within Gen-G. Adivasi Zen-G. Himalayan Gen-G. Madhesi Gen-G. Dalits and Muslims are gen-ji. Not all gen-jis have the same experience. Everyone was angry with the government, lack of transparency. But here, Gen-Ji from the marginalized area has suffered more from corruption and abuse of power. 

It was discussed that your name was proposed as a minister. How was the name decided? Who proposed? What was your advice? 

Nothing was suggested about this matter. We were thinking that we should send another friend. It was also feared that the tribal gen-ji would leave the cabinet. How many people said that Kulman did not reach Ghising. But he comes from a track record. I never even promoted my name. I wanted to send other friends. I was in India at the time, attending a regional workshop at the University of Oxford. I was invited to this event three months ago. I learned this from a friend. I also delayed the return ticket to meet friends and professors. 

Now even Jen-G's voice is divided, there is also a dispute about the name to be sent to the cabinet, and no conclusion has been reached even after a month? What is your initiative on this matter?
