Former Nepal PM Sher Bahadur Deuba Returns Amid Medical Treatment and Legal ChallengesPreviousNext

Former Nepal Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba returned to Kathmandu after nearly six months abroad for medical treatment following injuries sustained during the Gen-Z protests last September. He received a large welcome from Nepali Congress leaders and supporters amid ongoing internal party disputes and a money-laundering investigation. Arrest warrants had been issued against Deuba and his wife, but the Supreme Court annulled the warrants. Deuba is expected to address a national gathering of his party's dissenting faction.
