The Election Commission has written to the Press Council of Nepal, requesting the removal of a BBC documentary report covering the September 23–24, 2025, protests in Kathmandu, known as the Gen Z movement.
The documentary, published by BBC World Service and its Nepali service in both English and Nepali, focuses on the protests and includes claims that the then-police chief, Chandrakuber Khapung, ordered the use of firearms during the unrest. The Election Commission says the report could influence public perception ahead of the upcoming elections.
