Students hold banners demanding justice for Prakriti Lamsal, a Nepali student who ends her life following alleged negligence and ignorance by India's KIIT University in Odisha during a protest in Kathmandu, Nepal, on February 18, 2025. A third-year B. Tech student from Nepal ends her life by hanging in her hostel room following a suspected strained relationship with another male student from KIIT on February 16. Following the death, students, particularly of Nepali origin, take to the streets demanding the arrest of the boy responsible for allegedly abusing the girl, leading to her suicide. The college reportedly asks Nepali students to vacate the university, leaving them in distress. (Photo by Subaas Shrestha/NurPhoto)
