Nepal Embassy demands ‘impartial investigation’ into KIIT student death
A day after a third-year B.Tech international student from Nepal allegedly took her own life at KIIT University in Bhubaneswar, a grave aftermath appears to be brewing. Family members of the deceased have suggested that the entire chain of events, from unrest at the campus to the university’s manner of handling it, has the potential to disrupt diplomatic relations between India and Nepal.
In an interaction with media persons, a relative of the deceased girl admitted that this issue is hampering India-Nepal relations. “This matter is causing severe damage to India-Nepal relations. It is ruining India’s reputation on the global stage and will impact students who wish to come and study here,” added the relative.
On Sunday, after news broke out that a Nepali girl allegedly took her own life, students of KIIT University staged a massive protest at the campus, which continued well through the next day. However, allegations of the university security personnel using excessive force to disperse the students came to the fore.
Further, on Monday, the university management abruptly issued a notice to all students from Nepal to vacate the campus immediately and leave for their homes, Sine Die. The students were subsequently loaded up in buses and taken to the Cuttack railway station, after which they were left to fend for themselves.
Last night, the university again issued a statement asking the students to return to the campus, but the barrage of hasty decisions had already attracted the attention of the Prime Minister of Nepal, who expressed his concern on the matter through a post on X (formerly Twitter). Additionally, the Embassy of Nepal in New Delhi demanded an impartial probe.
