KIIT University recorded its third student death this year, with a first-year Computer Science student found dead in a hostel room on Monday. The earlier fatalities involved a Nepalese girl student on February 16, another Nepalese girl student on May 1, and now a third case on December 1, raising renewed concern over recurring deaths on the campus.
The deceased has been identified as Rahul Yadav, a resident of Chhattisgarh and a 1st-year Computer Science student at KIIT University. He was reportedly found hanging inside his hostel room.
Police suspect the incident to be a case of suicide, though no conclusion has been drawn yet. The Infocity Police have begun an investigation, and a scientific team has examined the spot. No official statement from KIIT University was available at the time of reporting.
Bhubaneswar ACP (Zone-VI) Sonali Singh Parmar said, “The student was found hanging in the hostel. His name is Rahul Yadav, and he was a first-year Computer Science student. A scientific team has reached the scene, his family has been informed, and they are on their way. We are investigating all possible angles, and nothing has been established yet. He died on Sunday night, and his roommates were in another room but not with him at the time.”
This new case adds to a troubling pattern at KIIT. On 16 February 2025, Prakriti Lamsal, a third-year B.Tech student from Nepal, was found dead in her hostel room. Her death sparked widespread protests, with students alleging that harassment and administrative negligence contributed to the tragedy.
Following the incident, a UGC fact-finding committee reportedly held KIIT accountable, citing: Poor hostel conditions, mishandling of student complaints, administrative lapses.
