Speaker Devraj Ghimire has issued a ruling to the government to ascertain the truth behind the death of Prisa Shah at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Odisha, India.

During a meeting of the House of Representatives on Monday, lawmakers drew the attention of the government to the demise of Sah, a Nepali student at KIIT in India.

Sah was found dead at her hostel room on Thursday evening.

Saying that his attention has been drawn to the issue raised by the lawmakers in the emergency time of the meeting, Speaker Ghimire directed the government to initiate high-level diplomatic efforts with the Indian government and provide necessary legal assistance to the family.

“The mysterious deaths of students, who had gone abroad to study with dreams of a bright future, one after another are also a serious question linked to the sensitivity and responsibility of the nation,” he said, adding, “I direct the government to take deep interest in this incident and to initiate high-level diplomatic talks with the Indian government to ascertain the truth and provide necessary legal assistance to the family.”
