Kerala Student Ansiji’s Death in TN College, Family Demands Probe

The family of Ansiji, a 21-year-old nursing student from Neyyattinkara, has demanded an RDO (Revenue Divisional Officer)-supervised inquest into her death at Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Hospital. Ansiji allegedly died by suicide after jumping from the third floor of a private nursing college building in Karungal, Tamil Nadu, on Friday. Locals and family members stopped Colachel Police officials from Tamil Nadu who arrived at the hospital to conduct the inquest outside the mortuary.

Kannan, a neighbour of Ansiji, said the family had been at Karungal Police



Station in Tamil Nadu until Sunday evening and was informed that the RDO would conduct the inquest on Monday. However, only five police personnel arrived at the hospital, following which the family and locals opposed the move and stopped the Colachel Police vehicle.

Speaking to media, Kannan said, "Our demand is that there should be an investigation into how the girl died. Along with that, an RDO inquest should also be conducted. We were at the Karungal Police Station in Tamil Nadu until yesterday evening. We were informed yesterday that the RDO would come today.
