A Nepali politician was chased down the street by a lynch mob as the country's Prime Minister fled - before its presidential palace was burned to the ground.
Young Nepalis are leading angry protests across the country over its social media ban, with violence spreading in the capital and other cities.
After enraged crowds torched KP Sharma Oli's home, new video footage showed how Bishnu Prasad Paudel being pursued and set upon by a mob through the streets of Kathmandu.
In the shocking clip, Paudel, 65, is seen sprinting down a road as dozens run after him. A protester coming from the other side leaps and kicks him, sending him crashing against a red wall.
The government official quickly gets up, stumbles, but starts running again before the video ends. Paudel, who doubles as the deputy prime minister of the country, has faced intense criticism since he began running Nepal's economic affairs last year.
