September 12, 2025

Hold onto your seats, because a viral video has the internet buzzing! Former RAW agent and NSG commando Lucky Bisht made a jaw-dropping prediction that Nepal’s government would collapse soon. The clip shows him saying, "Today is the 12th, note it down. In a few days, big news will come out from Nepal that the government there is going to fall." Sounds like a magic prophecy, right? But wait—the plot thickens. This sizzling video was shared widely in August 2025, claiming Bisht’s words predicted the recent political turmoil in Nepal that shocked the world. However, fact-checkers dug deeper and uncovered the truth: this fiery prediction was actually made back in December 2024, nearly eight months before the current chaos. Bisht himself cleared the smoke in a Facebook post on 10 September, saying, "You may feel that eight months is a long duration. For a government to fall it takes time… do you really think Nepal’s government fell just in 48 hours? It's a time-taking process." So no, he wasn’t predicting yesterday’s news, but his words sure seemed to ripple ahead of the protests! Now, let’s see what set Nepal on fire. On 9 September, Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli stepped down after massive demonstrations rocked the nation. The spark? A government ban on popular social media platforms, citing tax and cybersecurity concerns. Sparks flew across Kathmandu, Pokhara, Butwal, and Birgunj as young protesters demanded transparency and a rollback of the ban. Sadly, violence erupted, leaving at least 19 dead and 500 injured. Who could lead Nepal next? Names like former Chief Justice Sushila Karki, backed by the youth for her clean image and pro-India views, and Kathmandu’s Mayor Balen Shah are in the spotlight. Another shining star is Kulman Ghising, the ex-managing director of Nepal Electricity Authority famed for crushing power outages—exactly the kind of clean, apolitical leader the protesters want. To tame the unrest, the Nepal Army slapped prohibitory orders on major cities and declared a nationwide curfew from 11 September. President Ram Chandra Paudel is gearing up to meet protest leaders to ease tensions. Amid all this political drama, the deeper worry is Nepal’s jobs crisis. About 5,000 young Nepalis leave every day seeking work abroad, a staggering number fueling frustration and unrest that no leader can ignore. So, while Lucky Bisht’s viral video wasn’t fresh news, it sure caught the whirlwind of Nepal’s ongoing battle. Stay tuned, because Nepal’s story is far from over!
