The claim

BREAKING: WIFE OF NEPAL’S FORMER PM BURNED ALIVE AS PROTESTERS TORCH HOME Rajyalaxmi Chitrakar, wife of ex-PM Jhalanath Khanal (who briefly served in 2011), died after being trapped inside their burning home in Kathmandu. The blaze was set by anti-government protesters, part of the Gen Z-led uprising over a now-lifted social media ban. Nepal's most recent PM, KP Sharma Oli, resigned earlier today amid escalating unrest that has killed 19 and shut down Kathmandu’s airport. Source: NDTV
