The government of Nepal is facing public wrath after it banned over two dozen social media platforms from Friday, 4th September. Hundreds of thousands of protestors, mostly youths, took to the streets protesting against the deeply rooted corruption in government organisations.
A shocking video from the protest site has surfaced on social media showing a youth collapsing after being hit by a huge stone the size of a brick.
An X account named Aprichit Keto shared the video while crediting Bagi Post, and said, 'In the Gen-Z protest, youths were shot like this, resulting in deaths on the spot.' The condition of the injured protestor is not known.
However, the video clearly shows that the youth collapses to the ground unconscious after being hit by a large stone on the head from behind.
After being hit, the youth was taken for medical help by two other protestors.
