Bhubaneshwar, July 15 -- After battling for life for almost 55 hours, an undergraduate female student, who set herself ablaze after her complaint of prolonged sexual harassment by a teacher was not addressed in a government-run autonomous college in Odisha's Balasore district, succumbed to burn injuries late on Monday night.
"Despite the best efforts of a team of doctors, we could not save her. She died at 11.47 pm. She had suffered over 90% burns, and there was multiple organ failure. The doctors tried their best to maintain organ function artificially as long as possible. But they failed to revive her", said an official of AIIMS-Bhubaneswar, where she was admitted on Saturday.
