The police commissioner, who visited the ladies’ hostel, also said an unnatural death (UD) case has been registered.”The fresh case comes from the same hostel and same floor,” another officer said.However, the police have not recovered any suicide note from the possession of the deceased.”We have not got any such note, but the scientific team has been searching her room,” Sharma said.While the Odisha government expressed grief over the incident and termed it “unfortunate”, the KIIT was yet to make any comment.The death of the Nepalese student in February had triggered protests after reports suggested that the victim was allegedly blackmailed, and she ended her life for not getting justice from the private university authorities.There was an outcry on the KIIT campus as the institute authorities, with the help of staffers and security personnel, had allegedly assaulted Nepalese students who demanded justice for the deceased.The Nepalese students were “forcibly evicted” from the campus and “asked to leave for their country”.Nepal’s Prime Minister K P Sharma Oli had raised the issue at the diplomatic level and urged the central government to ensure justice for Nepalese students of the institute.
