Durga Prasai, the commander of the of a movement demanding the restoration of the monarchy and a medical businessman, has gone absconding.

The protesters have been vocal about their demands for the reinstatement of the monarchy and the abolition of the republic. The government, however, has emphasized its commitment to maintaining peace and security, vowing to curb any disruptive activities.
According to locals and eyewitnesses, the demonstration in Tinkune saw a significant clash between a large number of protesters and police forces. Further details of the incident are yet to emerge.
