A 20-year-old engineering girl student from Nepal was found dead in her hostel room on 16 February, triggering widespread student unrests.
The visuals of students from Nepal being forcibly evicted from the university hostel and being manhandled later went viral on social media platforms, drawing outrage from several quarters including the Nepal PM and diplomats of the neighbouring country.
A visibly embarrassed Odisha Government later constituted a high-level fact-finding committee to probe the incident, which the Government described as ‘most unfortunate’.
