Recent intelligence reports have surfaced alleging that the recent riots in Nepal were not entirely organic, but were instead influenced by external actors. According to India Today, there is a suspected role of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in orchestrating or exacerbating the unrest. The report claims that financial resources used to incite or sustain the riots were routed through banking and informal channels originating from Pakistan, Turkey, and Qatar.

While the report frames these findings as an exclusive investigation, it does not provide specific evidence regarding the identities of the local actors in Nepal or the exact nature of the communication between the alleged foreign handlers and the rioters. The claim centers on the premise that the scale and coordination of the violence suggest a level of logistical and financial support typically associated with state-sponsored intelligence operations.

There has been no official confirmation from the Nepalese government or international security agencies regarding these specific allegations. The report relies on intelligence-based sourcing, which has not been corroborated by independent third-party investigations. As of now, the situation remains under scrutiny, with questions lingering about the extent to which foreign entities may have exploited local tensions to destabilize the region.
