Tears as Body of Student who Died after Falling off Indian University Hostel is Returned to Uganda

There was a somber mood at the Entebbe International Airport on May 05 as the family of Asiina Agasha received her body after their child fell off the sixth floor of a hostel and died.

Agasha, aged 22, was a final year student pursuing Bachelor of Business Administration at Gitam University.

It is not yet clear how Agasha fell off the hostel in Bengaluru, India.

While some claimed she had committed suicide, others said it was an accident and accused the university of negligence and failure to put in place safety measures.

In fact protests broke out at the university over Agasha’s death, with students going “berserk at the loss and vandalized the college and hostel premises, hurling stones at windows and damaging the panes, after which they had to be controlled by the police by way of lethal charge,” according to Hindustan Times.
