Nepal government has started diplomatic initiatives to ensure the safety and well-being of Nepali students in Odisha. Police sources revealed that the accused student who originally belongs to Uttar Pradesh was on Monday arrested from the Bhubaneswar Airport while he was trying to flee the city. The deceased Prakriti, a student of B.Tech (Computer Science) of KIIT University, had ended her life on Sunday following a fight with her estranged boyfriend and the accused Advik Shrivastava. Some students were also forcefully taken to the railway station in Cuttack on university buses. Some videos also went viral showing university authorities allegedly engaging in verbal spats with NepaliStudents and asking them to leave the campus immediately. Police tried to assuage the protesting students, but in vain. The students also continued the protest staging a road blockade at the private university on Monday morning as well. The incident and the eventual furore caught the attention of the government of Nepal, which took the matter seriously and ensured the arrest of the culprit.
