Summary:
A Nepali female student from Birgunj, Parsa, named Prisha Sah, studying at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Odisha, India, was found dead by hanging in her hostel room on Thursday evening around 8 PM. The Nepalese Embassy in New Delhi confirmed the incident. Consular officer SSP Sanjeev Sharma Das reported that the embassy began investigating after forced entry was required to open her door during a routine check. Prisha lived on the fourth floor of the Queens Castle-4 hostel with senior students, but no one was present in the room at the time. Most students had gone home due to summer vacation, though first-year students were still taking exams; Prisha was a first-year B.Tech student.
This incident follows the earlier death of another Nepali student, Prakriti Lamsal, also at KIIT. Prakriti was found dead in the hostel in mid-February and had reportedly suffered mental harassment and blackmail.
The investigation into Prisha's death is ongoing.
