Fact

We also found a Facebook post by Legal Nepal, dated March 28, 2025, carrying visuals from the same location as seen in the viral footage. In one such photo, we spotted ‘जडीबुटी उत्पादन तथा प्रशोधन कम्पनी’ (Herbs Production & Processing Company) written on the hoarding.

Using this as a clue, we looked up “Herbs Production & Processing Co.” and “Nepal” on Google, and were able to geo-locate the spot seen in the viral footage in Kathmandu.

Multiple others on March 28-29, 2025 reported on violence in Nepal during a protest seeking restoration of monarchy.
