A 20-year-old student from Fakir Mohan College, Balasore, died by self-immolation after the college's committee reportedly blamed her in a sexual harassment case she filed against a professor.
Her family says the biased report pushed her to this step.
She passed away at AIIMS Bhubaneswar, and both the principal and accused professor have since been suspended and arrested.

The victim's father called for a fair probe into how the complaint was handled, while local leaders questioned if the report protected the accused.
Odisha's Chief Minister promised a full investigation and support for the family.
The student's mother shared her hope that her daughter's death will ensure the safety of other female students in colleges and schools, wishing for safer campuses ahead.
