Family of Kerala Nursing Student Ansiji Demands Detailed Probe
A young woman named Ansiji was a nursing student from a town called Neyyattinkara in Kerala, India.
She studied at a private nursing college in a place called Karungal, in the nearby state of Tamil Nadu.
Last Friday, she was hurt very badly after falling and was taken to a hospital in Thiruvananthapuram, where she died.
Her family is very sad and does not believe they were told the full truth.
The college first said she fell down the stairs, but later her family learned she may have jumped from the top of the building.
Her family also says the principal had been mean to her many times.
They believe the police and the college are working together to hide something.
They asked a special government officer, called an RDO, to investigate the case.
When regular police officers came to the hospital to check her body, the family and local people stopped them.
The family just wants a fair and careful investigation to find out what really happened.
Ansiji, a 21-year-old nursing student from Neyyattinkara, died at Thiruvananthapuram Medical College Hospital after allegedly jumping from the third floor of her private nursing college in Karungal, Tamil Nadu, on Friday.
Her family has demanded an RDO-supervised inquest, saying there are 'many mysteries' surrounding her death.
Family members and locals stopped Colachel Police officials who arrived from Tamil Nadu to conduct the inquest outside the hospital mortuary.
A neighbour, Kannan, said the college authorities first told the family Ansiji had fallen from a staircase, while the family later learned she had allegedly jumped from the top of the building.
Kannan also alleged that the college principal had continuously harassed Ansiji and that there is an 'unholy nexus' between the Karungal Police and the college.

Neighbour of Ansiji and family supporter
“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. However, only five police officers came to conduct the inquest. We opposed this. We stopped the vehicle of the Colachal Police.”

“There are many mysteries surrounding this case. The college authorities informed the family that the girl had fallen from the staircase. However, she had actually jumped from the top of the building. She was not a child who would ever commit suicide. The principal had continuously harassed her at the college. There is an unholy nexus between the Karungal Police and the college.”
