Stark reminder of Prakriti Lamsal death case
"Information about the alleged suicide of a girl student from Nepal, studying in the first year B Tech, Computer Science, KIIT University, was received from local police at about 8.10 pm today," the Information and Public Relations Department conveyed in a statement.
"The parents of the girl were informed about the incident immediately by the university authorities. In this hour of distress, the State Government extends its support to the family of the deceased and offers its condolences to them."
The statement further added that senior officials, including the Commissioner of Police and Revenue Divisional Commissioner, were dispatched to the university to inquire into the incident and ensure necessary action. A forensic team was also deployed to gather evidence from the scene.
This incident bears a stark resemblance to the death of another Nepali student at the same university on February 16th of this year. That previous incident led to protests by Nepali students who alleged inaction by the college following complaints of harassment against a fellow student, who was later arrested.

The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has also echoed the call for a thorough investigation, highlighting the concerning repetition of such incidents at the institution.
"The incident has repeated. There was one more suicide case from the same hostel and building...ABVP demands a thorough investigation into the matter," an ABVP member told reporters.

6 ways Jason and Lucia could do better than Michael and Trevor in GTA 6
(Image via Rockstar Games) GTA VI's new protagonists, Jason and Lucia, have already set the internet ablaze. With a crime-filled dynamic reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde, fans are wondering: can they truly rival the chaotic brilliance of Michael and Trevor from GTA V ? Rockstar's new duo in Leonida (GTA's version of Florida) might just redefine the franchise's legacy. Here's how: 1. Their Relationship Feels Fresh and Intense Michael and Trevor were long-time frenemies. Their chemistry was built on shared history and betrayal. But Jason and Lucia? They're partners-in-crime and romance. That dual tension—loyalty vs survival—adds a raw edge to their every decision. The stakes feel personal, and in GTA, personal means unpredictable. Who Is Lucia Caminos (GTA VI LORE) 2. Lucia Brings a New Protagonist Energy Let's be honest: GTA has never had a playable female protagonist. Lucia changes that. Her presence adds fresh narrative ground, unexplored motivations, and a unique perspective to the chaos. She's smart, fearless, and emotionally layered, making her as complex as Michael and just as explosive as Trevor. 3. Jason Could Be GTA's Coolest Criminal Yet Jason seems like the chill mastermind—like a younger Michael, but grittier and more hands-on. He isn't just the muscle; he plans, calculates, and strikes when needed. If Michael was the retired kingpin, Jason is the streetwise upstart trying to become one. That underdog arc could hit hard. 4. Vice City's Modern Vibe Beats Los Santos' Familiarity Michael and Trevor thrived in Los Santos, a playground built on Hollywood stereotypes and Vinewood madness. But Jason and Lucia have Leonida. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Switch to UnionBank Rewards Card UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo From beach parties and swamp shootouts to viral crime clips, Vice City in 2025 is sleek, scary, and social-media soaked. Their world is faster—and so are their crimes. 5. More Dynamic Heists and Chaos Trevor brought the mayhem. Michael brought the planning. But Jason and Lucia might bring both together. With improved AI, tighter co-op mechanics, and dual protagonist tactics teased in the trailer, expect smarter, riskier, and more cinematic heists. Their chemistry could make every job feel like a ticking time bomb. GTA 6 Jason Duval & Lucia Caminos Story Analysis & Predictions 6. They're Made for This Generation Michael and Trevor were icons of 2013. But Jason and Lucia are TikTok-age outlaws. They're filmed robbing stores. They livestream chaos. They trend. That level of cultural awareness could make them feel more relevant and more dangerous than any duo before them. Jason and Lucia aren't just replacing Michael and Trevor. They're redefining what a GTA duo can be. Their bond is deeper, their world is wilder, and their ambition feels bigger. If Rockstar nails the storytelling, this pair might just steal the crown—and a few banks along the way.

Viral video of handcuffed Indian student at US airport sparks online outrage
Image credits: X/@SONOFINDIA Trump's immigration crackdown might seem like a policy decision for him, but for students and families who migrated to the land of dreams with hopes for a better future, living in America recently has been nothing short of a nightmare. Students from various countries are being arrested by ICE officials at random moments and being threatened with deportation to their homeland. The constant raids at homes and arrests on the streets have created an environment of panic and danger among the immigrants. Recently, an Indian-American entrepreneur took to X to share a video of an Indian student being handcuffed by police officials. Kunal Jain, a social entrepreneur who writes books in Hindi and recently relocated to India posted about the incident which happened at Newark airport. "I witnessed a young Indian student being deported from Newark Airport last night— handcuffed, crying, treated like a criminal. He came chasing dreams, not causing harm. As an NRI, I felt helpless and heartbroken. This is a human tragedy." wrote Jain while tagging the Indian embassy in the US. He also tagged the Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar adding that the young boy was supposed to board the same flight as him but didn't. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo Asking to find out what happened to him at New Jersey authorities. Social media reactions Image credits: X/@SONOFINDIA His post has gone viral all over social media with people reposting it and news websites covering it. The incident marks one of the many atrocities being faced by Indian students who are fearful and unsure of their future in America. Many people commented on Jain's post, condemning him for posting the incident and not staying around to help the young student. "So easy to write stories. If you were that concerned why didn't you get him released?" wrote a person. Others questioned the reason why Indian students went to America for higher studies in the first place with the high cost and low safety the country ensures. "Now US is not your dream land. It has become hell for you." "Indian students must seriously rethink studying in the US. It's no longer the dreamland we were sold. The reality today is stark; rising violence, internal strife, racial discrimination, and institutions overrun with woke nonsense," wrote another. A person marked how the way the student was being dealt with in public was not justified, writing, "Irrespective of his status, situation, language which you might not understand or you might not convince with his answers, totally agree. But not a way to treat in front of everyone like this." Another shared how being deported might just be a good thing for the student with India's rising development. "Deported to India? Why should he be sad? I mean he is going back to a rising superpower!" While most social media users were offended on behalf of the students, others asked if he had legally migrated to the States. "Sorry but he has an illegal status. He should be deported. He can come back to his country. There is no shortage of dreams here."

Protest in Los Angeles today against Donald Trump latest updates: Tension escalates, ban on travel to USA takes effect
Protests in Los Angeles escalated as thousands of protesters took to the streets in response to President Donald Trump's extraordinary deployment of the National Guard, blocking off a major freeway and setting self-driving cars on fire as law enforcement used tear gas, rubber bullets and flash bangs to control the crowd. Trump administration's new ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens from 12 mainly African and Middle Eastern countries took effect on Monday amid rising tension over the president's escalating campaign of immigration enforcement. Donald Trump Travel Ban The new proclamation, which Trump signed last week, applies to citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. It also imposes heightened restrictions on people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela who are outside the U.S. and don't hold a valid visa. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you eat ginger every day for a month, your body will experience the following phenomena Tips and Tricks Undo The new ban does not revoke visas previously issued to people from countries on the list, according to guidance issued Friday to all U.S. diplomatic missions. However, unless an applicant meets narrow criteria for an exemption to the ban, his or her application will be rejected starting Monday. Travelers with previously issued visas should still be able to enter the U.S. even after the ban takes effect. Protest against Donald Trump Live Events Many protesters dispersed as evening fell and police declared an unlawful assembly, a precursor to officers moving in and making arrests of people who don't leave. Some of those remaining threw objects at police from behind a makeshift barrier that spanned the width of a street and others hurled chunks of concrete, rocks, electric scooters and fireworks at California Highway Patrol officers and their vehicles parked on the closed southbound 101 Freeway. Officers ran under an overpass to take cover. Sunday's protests in Los Angeles, a sprawling city of 4 million people, were centered in several blocks of downtown. It was the third and most intense day of demonstrations against Trump's immigration crackdown in the region, as the arrival of around 300 Guard troops spurred anger and fear among many residents, AP reported. The Guard was deployed specifically to protect federal buildings, including the downtown detention center where protesters concentrated. Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell said officers were 'overwhelmed' by the remaining protesters. He said they included regular agitators who show up at demonstrations to cause trouble, as per AP report. Several dozen people were arrested throughout the weekend of protest. One was detained Sunday for throwing a Molotov cocktail at police, and another for ramming a motorcycle into a line of officers. FAQs Q1. Who is President of USA? A1. President of USA is Donald Trump. Q2. What does new proclamation say? A2. The new proclamation, which Trump signed last week, applies to citizens of Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, the Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen.
