(Write). Following the discovery of a 20-year-old Nepali engineering student dead in her dorm room on Sunday night, demonstrations were held at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Bhubaneswar.
Prakriti Lamsal, the student, had enrolled at the institution to pursue a B.Tech in computer science. According to police, her batchmate from the same institution has been arrested in connection with the crime, and a preliminary investigation indicates she committed herself. He is being questioned, according to the police, and a formal complaint has been made under the provisions pertaining to aiding and abetting suicide. The corpse will be given to the family after a police team visited the hostel and transported it to the Capital Hospital for a post-mortem. In the meantime, angry Nepali students blocked the road next to the KIIT campus, claiming that when the student reported harassment by a fellow student to the university’s International Relations Office, no action was taken by the authorities.
However, Jnyana Ranjan Mohanty, the registrar of KIIT, stated that she initiated the action due of a tense relationship. The institution told all Nepali international students that it was “sine die” and ordered them to leave the campus right away on Monday. More than five hundred Nepali students were asked to board busses and dropped off at different train stations, from whence they were instructed to return home.
