Former Supreme Court Judge Gauri Bahadur Karki, Chief of the probe commission
The tenure of the Probe Commission formed by the government to investigate into the excessive use of force during the September 8 and 9 Gen Z movement has been extended by 20 days.
A meeting of the Council of Ministers on Thursday took a decision to this effect, informed Home Minister and government spokesperson Om Prakash Aryal.
The Sushila Karki government formed the Commission through a Cabinet decision on September 21, 2025 under the chair of former judge Gauri Bahadur Karki.
It comprises former Additional Inspector General of Police (AIGP) Bigyan Raj Sharma and legal expert Bishweshwor Bhandari as members.
The term of the Commission has been extended again for the second time at the request of the Home Ministry as preparation of the report was underway though the three-month deadline was given to the Commission during its formation. The term of the commission was terminating on Thursday itself.
The commission has taken written as well as recorded explanations with around 170 people including former Prime Minister K.P. Sharma Oli and then Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak in connection with the suppression or the two day movement in which 77 people were killed.
