Bhubaneswar: A National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) team has began its inquiry into the death of a 20-year-old Nepalese girl student at the KIIT University here.
The NHRC team would also look into alleged attacks on Nepalese students by the staff of the private institute.
The team is led by Joginder Singh, Registrar (Law).
Prakriti Lamsal, a third-year Computer Science student at KIIT, was found dead in a hostel room of the university on the evening of February 16. It was alleged that she died by suicide.
The commission has asked the team to submit findings by March 10.
Acting upon a complaint lodged by Ashutosh B, a resident of the city, and a letter from Nepal’s rights panel, the NHRC had formed a team of officers from the investigation and law divisions to conduct an on-spot inquiry into the student’s death at KIIT University.
