By Manisha Roy, Feb 19 (News18.com): Days after a Nepali girl student was found dead inside the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) University premises, her body was sent to Nepal on Wednesday.

This was confirmed by Rekam GC, chief of the Bhubaneswar unit of Mool Pravah Akhil Bharat Nepali Ekta Samaj (ABNES).

News agency ANI, citing Rekam GC, reported that the deceased student’s body was taken to the airport from AIIMS on Wednesday morning.

“The body will be taken from here to Delhi and then to her village (in Nepal) via Gorakhpur. Her last rites will be performed in her village…KIIT will bear accommodation expenses for the students who were sent to Nepal…Protests are taking place…," ANI quoted Rekam GC as saying.

The organisation also raised concerns over the police’s handling of the case, questioning why the incident was initially reported as a suicide and urging the authorities for further probe.

Rekam GC said that the arrested individual should be interrogated to get more clarity on what actually happened.
