The inquiry commission formed to investigate the Gen-G agitation and protests that took place on 23 and 24 Bhadra has begun its incident-focused statement. The commission, led by former Special Court President Gauri Bahadur Karki, began its Kathmandu-focused investigation by taking the statement of Nakkhu Prison Chief Satyaraj Joshi on Sunday.

Chairman Karki said that after studying the situation in various districts, a Kathmandu-centric investigation and inquiry has now begun. On 5 Asoj, the Council of Ministers formed a three-member inquiry commission under the chairmanship of former Special Court President and former Judge Karki. The commission has been given a deadline of three months to prepare a report. During the Gen-G movement, 76 people, including police officers, were killed in police firing, prison break escapes, arson attacks, and arson attacks. A large number of government, private, and commercial structures were looted and set on fire.

Nakkhu Jail Chief Joshi reached the commission around 12 noon on Sunday. According to commission sources, he was asked how the prisoners escaped by vandalizing the prison.

The commission had asked questions about prisoners including RSP President Rabi Lamichhane and Sanjay Sah 'Takla', who is considered the main planner of the Janakpur bomb attack. The commission asked Joshi, 'Was a letter written to get Lamichhane out or not?' The commission had asked him about the security arrangements in the prison and why it was weak when the situation became tense from the morning of the next day after the government used force to open fire during the Gen-G movement on the 23rd.

The commission had asked him about the vandalism, arson and escaped prisoners at Nakkhu Prison during the protest on Bhadra 24 and the circumstances of the incident. Chief Joshi, who gave a statement for almost two hours, said that there had been attempts to vandalize and arson at Nakkhu Prison since the morning of Bhadra 24. A member of the commission informed that he gave a statement that the situation got out of control despite exercising restraint.

Chief Joshi says that the situation got out of control after protests outside the prison since morning and criticisms of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) President Lamichhane on social media. He said that despite tightening security in the prison, it could not be brought under control as he is also a prisoner of serious crimes.

Chief Joshi claims that he went into the process of handing over the body to his family after seeing the possibility of human casualties due to vandalism and arson in the prison. In the same vein, in the case of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) President Lamichhane, he said in his statement that he was pressured to sign a letter while in prison with the intention of handing over the body to his family. He claims that he signed the letter without looking at the content 'after seeing his own life in danger'.

After around 2 pm, the prison started being attacked from all sides and some of the incidents seemed to be planned, he said in his statement. Joshi also said in his statement that the situation in the prison has become more tense after the Prime Minister resigned, and the houses of Singha Dabar and political party leaders, as well as the President's Office, were vandalized and set on fire. He claims that only some prisoners were handed over to their families, while others escaped taking advantage of the chaos.
