The committee led by Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Deepak Regmi, formed to investigate the damage caused to the police on 23 and 24 Bhadra, has submitted its report.

According to the report submitted to Inspector General of Police (IGP) Chandrakuber Khapung, 4,24 live ammunition (metal bullets) were fired across the country in the two days of the Gen-G movement.

The initial police report mentioned that 2,642 metal bullets were fired. However, when the final report was prepared, it was found that almost double the number of metal bullets were fired across the country. ‘At that time, only the initial details were collected, and the full details were yet to be obtained by comparing them with the ammunition in the store,’ said a committee source. ‘We have submitted the report after collecting all the details.’

According to a senior police source, the team deployed from the police headquarters alone found that 553 metal bullets were fired, 1,993 in the Kathmandu Valley, 299 in Koshi Province, 639 in Madhesh Province, 16 in Bagmati, 44 in Gandaki, 170 in Lumbini, 2 in Karnali and 307 in Sudurpaschim.

As mentioned in the report, 8,654 tear gas shells were fired in 2 days. Of these, 1,357 were fired by the Police Headquarters alone, 4,049 by the Kathmandu Valley Police and its subordinates, 845 in Koshi Province, 374 in Madhesh, 78 in Bagmati, 366 in Gandaki, 449 in Lumbini, 455 in Karnali, and 387 in the Far West. According to the report, 516 were fired by the Police Headquarters, 1,683 by Kathmandu Valley, 151 by Koshi, 69 by Madhesh, 11 by Bagmati, 171 by Gandaki, 28 by Lumbini, 136 by Karnali, and 11 in the Far West. 2,920 blank firings were also carried out by the Police Headquarters, the Valley, and all seven provinces. Thus, 18,373 firings were carried out in two days.

Central Police Spokesperson Binod Ghimire confirmed that the Regmi-led committee had submitted the report, but said he did not know its details. “This is an investigation committee formed for internal purposes, and details of damage to the police office have been collected,” he said. “Some other issues are for internal purposes only.” According to police officials, the report states that the Gen-G movement caused damage to the physical infrastructure of the police in Kathmandu alone. It is said that damage of Rs. 1.19 billion was caused in Lalitpur and Rs. 80 million in Bhaktapur.

Most of the metal bullets were fired from INSAS, SLR and pistols. The post-mortem report of the deceased conducted at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Maharajgunj also states that the cause of death was a bullet fired from a ‘high velocity weapon’. On 23 and 24 Bhadra, 39 people were killed by gunfire, most of them in the waist. In the Kathmandu Valley alone, 35 people were shot dead, including 19 in the chest, 10 in the head, 4 in the stomach, and 2 in the throat, according to forensic reports. According to Dr. Gopal Chaudhary, head of the hospital's forensic department, almost all of the deceased were shot with a 'high-velocity weapon' that came from a distance.

The National Human Rights Commission is also investigating the excessive number of shots fired by the police. Spokesperson Dr. Tikaram Pokharel said that the investigation committee formed under the leadership of commission member Lily Thapa is seriously investigating the shooting. 'Since the shooting incidents of the first day are more serious from a human rights perspective, we are investigating them by giving priority to the issues related to them,' he said, 'We are working to bring the report as soon as possible.'

Gen-G had held a street protest on 23 Bhadra against the ban on social media and corruption. The youth, who organized themselves through Discord and Reddit, gathered at Maitighar and moved forward. They broke the barricade and moved forward at 12:35 pm. The police, who failed to stop the protesters there, opened fire indiscriminately when the protesters entered the parliament building.

After 19 people died due to excessive police repression on the first day, anger grew and more protesters took to the streets on 24 Bhadra. The death toll in the incidents on both days reached 76. 5 juvenile prisoners died in a juvenile reformatory in Nepalgunj, 2 in Dhading and 3 inmates in Ramechhap. 20 people burned to death in a Bhatbhateni supermarket. Three policemen were killed in the beatings of the protesters.

After the protesters entered the parliament building on 24 Bhadra, the country's main administrative center, Singha Durbar, the President's Office, the Supreme Court, and others were set on fire. The police are currently conducting a forensic examination of the fire that spread rapidly in an instant. After questions began to be raised publicly after the spread of the fire, the Police Headquarters formed a committee that also included forensic experts from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory.
