Nepal is confronting a day of grief and remembrance as communities mourn victims of the deadly August 26 floods while young Nepalis gather at the country's burnt parliament to mark the anniversary of the anti-corruption protests that shook Kathmandu in 2025. Buddhist monks have held candlelight prayers for those killed in the flash floods as search and rescue operations continue across devastated areas. At the same time, young Nepalis have gathered at the burnt parliament in Kathmandu to remember those killed during the anti-corruption protest movement. The demonstrations, which began after a social media ban, grew into a wider expression of anger over corruption, economic hardship and governance.

A massive Cockroach Janata Party protest erupted in Delhi over the alleged assault of Sanjay Kumar, father of CJP activist Nishu Azad, during a protest at Jantar Mantar. CJP supporters marched to the Parliament Street police station demanding action against influencer Swatantra Bharadwaj after a viral clip circulated in which he was seen claiming he had “cracked the skull” of Nishu Azad’s father. CJP leaders are demanding Bharadwaj’s arrest and have called for an attempt-to-murder case. Delhi Police, however, has given a different version, saying Sanjay Kumar suffered a minor injury during a scuffle and that a case was registered on his complaint. Bharadwaj has defended his actions, saying the incident was self-defence and claiming he was surrounded by 10–15 people. He has also disputed the viral clip being circulated online.
