Apart from the commission formed under the leadership of former judge Gauri Bahadur Karki, the National Human Rights Commission is also investigating the protests that took place on 23 and 24 Bhadra.

The commission had formed an investigation team on Bhadra 24 under the leadership of commission member Lily Thapa and started the investigation. The commission is investigating by dividing it into four topics. The investigation is based on human rights violations during the Gen-G movement, the use of force (suppression) by the police in the Bhadra 23 movement, transparency and accountability, and impunity, said commission spokesperson Tikaram Pokharel. 

The commission has completed the statements and interrogations. The last statement to the commission was given by the then Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli. On the same day that Oli submitted his written statement to the government inquiry commission, he also reached the Human Rights Commission and gave his statement. 

The team has been conducting field monitoring of the incidents of Bhadra 23 and 24 and is now actively writing the report, Thapa said. She said that the commission will write the report after completing the statement and analyzing the facts and will submit the report in a few days.

According to the commission, the investigation is focused on the issues of repression and human rights violations in the 23rd Bhadra incident, while the investigation is focused on issues such as accountability and impunity in the 24th Bhadra incident. The commission has studied through its mechanisms in Kathmandu and various districts. 

The commission has questioned the security personnel deployed in the field on 23rd and 24th Bhadra, through the District Security Council. The commission had also sought details from the Nepali Army. The army has submitted a report to the commission.

The commission had made public a brief report on the monitoring conducted during the Gen-G movement on 10th Asoj. The report concluded that the government's failure to assess the possible causes prior to the incident was a weakness. ‘Although the demonstration was peaceful on the morning of the first day, the incident turned violent after noon with arson incidents and shooting at protesters, resulting in the deaths of some protesters,’ the report said. ‘Due to the deaths of protesters by security personnel during the demonstration on the first day, indiscriminate arson and vandalism were found during monitoring on the second day.’ 

The commission had directed the government to identify the causes of such violent incidents and create an environment that would prevent them from recurring in the future. The commission had issued a statement on 24 Bhadra, requesting it to stop killings in the name of peace and security and take steps to fulfill the demands of the protesters. Similarly, in a statement on 23 Bhadra, the commission had mentioned that excessive force was used on the protesters.
