Accused Arrested After Nepali Girl’s Suicide at Odisha University
Tragedy struck the Odisha campus of Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) University when a Nepali girl took her own life, leaving behind a trail of shock and grief. The police have since made an arrest in connection with the case, and the preliminary investigation suggests that the victim was a victim of harassment.
The incident occurred on February 12, when the 20-year-old Nepali girl was found dead in her hostel room. The police were informed, and an investigation was launched immediately. After speaking with the victim’s friends and family, the police zeroed in on a primary suspect, a fellow student at the university.
“We arrested the accused person, we examined him, and today, he has been forwarded to judicial custody,” said a police official, speaking to the media. The official also confirmed that the victim’s personal belongings, including her mobile phone, had been confiscated for forensic investigation.
The police investigation has revealed that the victim was being harassed by the accused student, who is also from Nepal. The harassment had been going on for some time, and the victim had reportedly complained to her friends and family about it. However, the accused student continued to torment her, leading to the tragic outcome.
The KIIT University has been in the news for all the wrong reasons in recent times. In 2020, a similar incident of suicide occurred on campus, also involving a female student. The university has faced criticism for its handling of the situation, with many questioning the measures it has in place to ensure the safety and well-being of its students.
The recent incident has once again raised questions about the university’s ability to provide a safe and secure environment for its students. The police investigation is ongoing, and the university has promised to cooperate fully with the authorities.
The victim’s family has also spoken out about the incident, expressing their grief and shock at the loss of their loved one. “We are devastated by the loss of our daughter,” said the victim’s father. “We demand justice for her and hope that the accused student is punished for his heinous crime.”
The police have assured the family that they will do everything in their power to ensure that justice is served. “We are leaving no stone unturned in our investigation,” said a police official. “We will ensure that the accused student is punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
The incident has sent shockwaves across the country, with many condemning the accused student’s actions and calling for stricter measures to be taken to prevent such incidents in the future.
