Bhubaneswar (Odisha) [India], May 2 (ANI): A tragic incident occurred at the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Bhubaneswar, where a Nepali student was found dead inside her hostel room on Thursday evening. The student, enrolled in her first year of the B.Tech Computer Science program, was reportedly discovered in a hanging position.
According to police officials, they received information about the alleged suicide and immediately responded to the scene. “We were informed today about the death of a girl from Nepal, who died by suicide at the KIIT University hostel. We arrived at the site and began investigating the matter. A detailed investigation will be carried out. A scientific team has collected all necessary evidence. Her family has been informed, and the body has been sent to AIIMS for a post-mortem,” said Bhubaneswar-Cuttack Police Commissioner Suresh Dev Datta Singh.
The Nepal Embassy has also been notified about the incident.
The Odisha government has expressed its condolences over the girl’s death, assuring that necessary actions would be taken. “We received information about the alleged suicide of a Nepali student studying in her first year of B.Tech Computer Science at KIIT University around 8:10 pm today. The university authorities immediately informed the girl’s parents.
