The staff and administration of Odisha’s KIIT University has been accused of misbehaviour, negligence and unfair treatment towards students from Nepal after the suicide of a Nepali female student created unrest on the college campus in Bhubaneswar. Viral videos on social media show students being beaten, assaulted and verbally threatened by security guards and even college staff.
In one viral video, two senior staff members are seen scolding students in a building that seemed like a hostel. Two female staff members are seen telling, “What do you (Nepali students) think? The college runs with your money? This institute feeds 40,000 students per day. Over 4 lakh students have graduated from here. We have been running it for over 20 years. Your country’s budget cannot match this”
