Tension erupted on the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) campus in Odisha yesterday after a third-year student from Nepal was found dead in her hostel room. BTech student Prakriti Lamsal died by suicide, authorities said. Dozens of Nepali students assembled last night and staged a protest, after which they claimed they were evicted from the campus.


Several posts have surfaced on social media claiming that Lamsal was being harassed by her ex-boyfriend. Her cousin too filed a complaint saying she was being blackmailed by a male student at the university, which led her to hang herself.


A statement issued by the KIIT also made similar claims.


"A Nepali student studying in the third year of B-Tech committed suicide in the hostel yesterday. It is suspected that the student was in a love affair with another student studying at KIIT. It is suspected that the student may have committed suicide due to some reason," said the stat

ement.
