The untimely death of Shivam Dey, a student at Sharda University, has plunged his family in Purnia into deep sorrow and raised serious concerns about the university’s role. Shivam’s suicide on Independence Day has left his parents heartbroken and seeking answers to the many questions that surround his passing. The family’s grief is compounded by the feeling that the university could have done more to prevent the tragedy.
Recent reports show that Shivam had not been attending classes for two years, and the university failed to notify his family about the issue. This raises serious questions about the university’s duty of care and its communication with parents regarding student attendance and well-being. His father, Kartik Dey, who works as a salesman, had worked tirelessly to support his son’s education and now faces the devastating reality of his loss and the unanswered questions surrounding it.
The family remembers Shivam as a bright and promising young man who showed no signs of distress during his recent visit home. The incident has not only shattered the family’s dreams but also raised questions about the responsibility of higher education institutions. The family is now seeking justice and answers to why the university failed to act and if there were signs of struggle that were missed.
