Mass unrest in Nepal: 13,500 prisoners escape, and rioters storm palaces.

According to The Sun: A billionaire's luxurious estate became the target of looting, as over 13,500 prisoners escaped across Nepal during mass protests by youth.

Stunning footage showed protesters destroying the house, while other images depicted prison escapees gathering in the capital.

Upendra Mahato's mansion, the third richest businessman in Nepal, was attacked by enraged protesters, captured on video in social media.

Armed attackers stormed the luxurious rooms, throwing stones and creating chaos.

Family photographs and broken frames lay on the floor amid shattered glass. Protesters spared no effort in damaging the mansion.

Chaos accompanied information that more than 13,500 prisoners had escaped during violent demonstrations.

According to reports, 13,572 prisoners escaped from the country's jails as of Wednesday.

Another 560 detainees under investigation also managed to escape, police spokesman Binod Ghimire reported.

“These escapes occurred due to the chaos caused by demonstrations, vandalism, and arson committed by Generation Z protesters on Tuesday,” confirmed the law enforcement officer.

A total of 25 people have died in the surge of violence, including three police officers. At least 633 individuals were injured, and 27 were detained.

In one riotous incident, prisoners were captured overpowering guards and setting fire to cells in one of Kathmandu's largest prisons.

Horrific scenes showed the Nepalese army, called to the capital, trying to cope with the situation by detaining escapees.

Guards aimed at the crowds of prisoners, then returned them to Dillibazar prison.

Nepalese soldiers also patrolled the streets of Kathmandu on Wednesday, instructing residents to stay home to prevent further arson.

The Situation in Nepal

The worst violence in the country in decades occurred after the government banned social media. Although the ban has been lifted, it did not quell the youth's anger.

Authorities banned 26 social media sites, including Facebook, WhatsApp, and Instagram.

The army was called to the capital to assist in maintaining order.

Nepal's hereditary elite became a target for protesters.

Shocking video captured the former Prime Minister of Nepal bleeding after an attack by the crowd on Tuesday.

“I am stepping down as Prime Minister to try to cool the situation,” said Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli.

The protests also claimed the life of the former Prime Minister Jhalanath Khanal's wife, Rajalaksmi Chitrakar, whose home was set on fire.

Protesters also attacked government officials' houses, destroying important administrative buildings.

The crowd also set fire to the main building of the Nepalese parliament and the residence of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli, forcing him to resign.

Authorities used tear gas and water cannons during the riots and imposed a curfew in some areas of the city.

Currently, the streets are beginning to return to normal under military control.

The youth were outraged by the social media ban and police violence, which used firearms during protests that resulted in the deaths of 19 people.
