KATHMANDU: Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli spoke with Sunil Lamsal, the father of Nepali student Prakriti Lamsal, who was recently found dead in her hostel room at KIIT University in Odisha, India.

In response, Prime Minister Oli assured the family of the government’s commitment to seeking justice. He said, “We have taken an interest. We have taken interest diplomatically and through the government.”
Oli pledged to take the necessary diplomatic steps and provide support to bring the culprits to justice.
The Prime Minister also said the government is actively investigating the case and is in contact with Indian authorities to ensure a fair and thorough inquiry. He reiterated his commitment to safeguarding the well-being of Nepali students studying abroad.
