Guwahati, Feb. 22 -- Following the alleged suicide of a 20-year-old Nepalese student at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) University in Odisha, a large number of students from Nepal, Bhutan, and Northeast India have left the institution, citing mistreatment and safety concerns.

Prakriti Lamsal, a third-year B Tech student, was found dead in her hostel room on February 16, prompting widespread unrest on campus.

Students who returned to Nepal allege "inhuman treatment" by university management in the aftermath of Lamsal's death.
