An increasingly fierce protest, led by Gen Z, which started on Monday, September 8, with demands of lifting the ban on social media platforms and government corruption, has swept through Nepal. As violence continues to escalate for the second day, shocking videos have emerged which show Nepal Finance Minister, Bishnu Prasad Paudel, being chased through Kathmandu streets.
The 65-year-old Minister is spotted running in panic through the streets, with hundreds of people behind him. The clip shows a young protester jumping and kicking Paudel down. The Minister is thrown off balance and slams into a red wall, but immediately gets up and runs again. The video ends here.
