The reasons behind the suspected suicide remain unclear. She was studying computer science and hailed from the Birgunj area of Nepal. The police reached the KIIT Campus and are investigating the case, Singh said. The incident follows a tragedy that unfolded less than three months ago, when a 20-year-old Nepali computer science student died by suicide, allegedly after being blackmailed. That case escalated into a major controversy, with allegations surfacing against some faculty members for making racist and demeaning remarks toward Nepali students. The accused, Advik Shrivastava, a third-year student, was arrested by Bhubaneswar police at the airport as he was reportedly attempting to flee. The university came under intense criticism for its response, particularly after it directed over 1,000 Nepali students to vacate the campus. The Ministry of External Affairs later stepped in, prompting the university to enter damage-control mode and issue formal apologies. First Published: May 02, 2025, 14:01 IST
