Prakriti Lamsal, a BTech student from Nepal at KIIT, Bhubaneswar, India ,who took her life after enduring relentless harassment by her ex-boyfriend, Advik Srivastava. Despite her brave complaint to the KIIT International Relations Office, no action was taken to protect her.
Following her death, KIIT attempted to suppress student protests and mistreated Nepali students, even ordering their immediate eviction from campus. This shows a shocking disregard for student safety.
We demand justice for Prakriti! The perpetrator must face strict punishment, and KIIT must be held accountable for its negligence. No student should suffer in silence or fear.
Letโs unite for change and ensure the safety of all students.

“We are Nepali students at KIIT.
This morning, after we returned to the hostel from our protest, the hostel was sealed. Soon after, the college dean, police officers in civilian clothes, and a large number of guards, along with local goons, stormed into our hostel. They forcefully entered the rooms of Nepali students, dragging us out and beating us brutally.
They seized our mobile phones, deleted all our data, and hurled abusive remarks about Nepal. While beating us, they kept taunting and insulting us. They continued assaulting us as they forced us into buses and drove us about 40 km away from the college. We were dropped off in separate, unknown locations, completely helpless.
Many of us were personally attacked by the college dean and police officers. They punched and kicked us, taunting, โNow speak up if you can!โ At that moment, we were overwhelmed, unable to comprehend what had just happened.
Nearly 15 people, including the college dean, security head, staff, and police officers, were involved in beating us.
All we wanted was justice. We protested peacefully without breaking any university rules, yet this is how we were treated in returnโฆ”
