On Thursday, a group of high-ranking officials, including the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department, the Higher Education Secretary, and the Police Commissioner, paid a visit to KIIT University in Bhubaneswar. The purpose of their visit was to look into the tragic death of a Nepali student, which had caused quite a stir due to the way it was handled.
The incident had sparked widespread criticism and put a lot of pressure on the authorities to take swift and transparent action. Students had taken to the streets, demanding a thorough investigation and justice for the deceased. The situation had escalated even further when a video went viral, showing a hostel staff member breaking the ventilation glass and entering the room where the student, Prakriti Lamsal, was found dead. It was alleged that she had hung herself from the ceiling.
In response to the growing concerns, the Odisha government had formed a high-level committee to look into the circumstances surrounding the incident. The officials have promised that appropriate action will be taken once the investigation is complete.
Meanwhile, senior leader Jaynarayan Mishra has made a statement in the Odisha Assembly, promising that action will be taken against former BJD MP Achyuta Samanta in connection with the case. The entire incident has left everyone deeply saddened and shaken, and the authorities are determined to get to the bottom of it and bring justice to the victim.
