In the second such case within three months, a Nepali student was found dead in her hostel room in Bhubaneswar’s Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) on Thursday, the police said.
The police said that the woman, identified as Prisha Shah (20), an undergraduate student pursuing her B.Tech, was found hanging from the ceiling fan of her hostel room. However, the police have not yet ascertained the circumstances that may have led her to take this extreme step.

The latest incident comes nearly two and a half months after the suicide of another Nepalese student of the same institute — Prakriti Lamsal — on February 16. The 20-year-old Nepali student, who also pursued computer science, died by suicide, reportedly after being blackmailed by a classmate.
The police said that the body of the BTech student was recovered from room number 111 of the hostel.
“Yes, the body of a girl from Nepal has been recovered. It seems that she has committed suicide at the ladies’ hostel of KIIT,” Police Commissioner S. Dev Datta Singh told news agency PTI.
The KIIT authorities are yet to issue a statement on the death of the Nepali student.
