Authorities in Kathmandu conducted coordinated police operations against multiple media organizations this past Friday, leading to the detention of several journalists. These actions, carried out by officers from the Cyber Bureau and the Crime Investigation Office, have drawn sharp criticism for potentially violating constitutional protections regarding freedom of the press. The nature of these interventions has prompted comparisons to the restrictive media environment experienced during the royal regime. Meanwhile, the Rastriya Swatantra Party has publicly condemned the government's conduct, fueling speculation regarding the extent of the party's influence over current state operations. As police continue to search for additional individuals, reports indicate that some journalists have become unreachable, further intensifying concerns about the safety of media personnel and the state of democratic norms in the country.
