"Release KP Oli," around 300 protesters chanted. Lawyers for Oli have submitted a petition to the Supreme Court for his release. Ex-energy minister Deepak Khadka was also detained on Sunday in a money laundering investigation, police said. It spread nationwide the following day as parliament and government offices were set ablaze, resulting in the collapse of Oli's government. "We will continue our protest, but we will proceed legally," said Baburam Thapa, 63, a protester calling for Oli's release.
