As the crowd swelled and turned increasingly aggressive, security forces were forced to retreat. The Nepali Army (NA) attempted to evacuate the couple by helicopter, but abandoned the effort after protesters attacked the aircraft.


They were later evacuated to the Army Hospital in an Army vehicle.


Currently, Deuba, 82, and his wife are undergoing treatment at the Army’s Staff College in Shivapuri, according to NC leader Min Bishwakarma.
