​​​​Former Home Minister Ramesh Lekhak was produced before the Kathmandu District Court on Sunday to extend his remand, a day after he was arrested in connection with the investigation into the Gen Z protests. 

He was first taken to the public prosecutor's office before being presented in the court. 

Lekhak and former Prime Minister and CPN-UML Chairman KP Sharma Oli were arrested while implementing the report of the inquiry commission formed to investigate the Gen Z unrest.

Following the arrest, Oli has been admitted to the Maharajgunj-based Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital while Lelhak is in police custody.

The arrests were made shortly after a high-level meeting involving Prime Minister Balen Shah, Rastriya Swatantra Party President Rabi Lamichhane and Home Minister Sudan Gurung. 

Immediately after the meeting, Home Minister Susan Gurung directed Inspector General of Police Dan Bahadur Karki and Inspector General of Armed Police Force Raju Aryal to arrest Oli and Lekhak.
