A group of senior officials, including the Additional Chief Secretary of the Home Department, the Higher Education Secretary, and the Police Commissioner, made a visit to KIIT University on Wednesday to look into the reported suicide of a Nepali student. This visit was prompted by the growing pressure and criticism surrounding the handling of the case.
The death of the student has sparked widespread protests, with students demanding a thorough and transparent investigation as well as justice for the deceased. A video that has gone viral shows a senior staff member of the hostel breaking the ventilation glass above the student's room and entering. Shortly after, the staff member opens the door, allowing others, including other hostel residents, to enter and find the student, Prakriti Lamsal, dead. It is alleged that she had hung herself from the ceiling.
In other news, the Odisha vigilance has caught an official in a bribery case. This adds to the already tense atmosphere surrounding the student's death. In response to the incident, the Odisha government has formed a high-level committee to thoroughly examine the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. The officials involved in the investigation have assured the public that appropriate action will be taken based on the findings of the probe.
Meanwhile, during a session in the Odisha Assembly, senior leader Jaynarayan Mishra has declared that action will be taken against former BJD MP Achyuta Samanta in connection with the case. This statement has further intensified the discussions and debates surrounding the incident. The community is eagerly waiting for the results of the investigation and hoping that justice will be served for Prakriti Lamsal.
