Bhubaneswar’s KIIT campus saw protests after Nepali student Prakriti Lamsal, 3rd-year BTech, died by suicide. Allegations of blackmail surfaced, with a male student in custody. Dozens of Nepali students staged protests, later claiming forced eviction. Videos showed clashes with guards. “We were given an hour to leave,” a student said. Police deployed two platoons for security. Nepal’s PM KP Sharma Oli assured diplomatic intervention. KIIT initially ordered students to vacate but later invited them back. “Campus is calm now,” said officials. Investigations continue as tension lingers.
