On February 16, 2025, 20-year-old Nepali student Prakriti Lamsal, a third-year B.Tech student at Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) in Bhubaneswar, India, was found dead in her hostel room, an apparent suicide. Her death has sparked widespread protests and debates in both Nepal and India. Investigations revealed that Prakriti had been subjected to prolonged harassment by her boyfriend, Advik Srivastava, a fellow third-year B.Tech (Mechanical) student at KIIT. Srivastava was arrested on February 17, 2025, following a complaint lodged by Prakriti's cousin, Siddhant Sigdel, who alleged that the harassment led to her tragic decision. The incident led to significant unrest among the student community. Protests erupted on the university campus, with students demanding justice for Prakriti and better protection measures. The situation escalated when university authorities ordered all Nepali students to vacate the hostels, leaving many stranded and exacerbating tensions. In response to the outcry, the Odisha state government formed a high-level fact-finding committee to investigate the circumstances surrounding Prakriti's death. Additionally, KIIT took disciplinary actions by suspending and arresting several staff members, including security personnel and administrative officials, for their mishandling of the situation and misconduct towards protesting students. The tragedy has also reverberated in political arenas. Lawmakers in both the Nepalese and Odisha parliaments have raised concerns over the incident, calling for thorough investigations and justice for Prakriti. The Nepalese government has engaged in diplomatic discussions with Indian authorities to ensure the safety and well-being of Nepali students studying in India. Prakriti's father, Sunil Lamsal, who traveled to Bhubaneswar following the incident, expressed his grief and urged for justice for his daughter, hoping that no other Nepali student would face a similar fate.

'Let's Not Make One Case Harm Bilateral Ties': Malaysia PM On Zakir Naik. Malaysian PM, Anwar Ibrahim indicated that his government may consider India's request to extradite controversial Islamic preacher Zakir Naik, if it provides evidence against him. Zakir Naik is wanted by Indian authorities for alleged money laundering and inciting extremism through hate speeches. He left India in 2016.

French journalist Vanessa Dougnac was informed that she had to leave the country as the Indian authorities accused her of writing “malicious and critical” reports, “inimical to the interest of the sovereignty and integrity of India.” The Indian authorities used diplomatic language. Two things and you deduce : 1. During her 23-year journalism career in India, Dougnac wrote reports from different parts of India and nearby countries like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. 2. She never took permits to travel to places where foreigners and in some cases even Indians required permits to visit due to sensitivity of the area ( eg : parts of N East / India Myanmar borders / India China borders ). You can guess what work she was doing under the garb of a journalism. Word is that she worked for a 5 eyes agency.
