A tragic incident has cast a shadow over the Refugee Colony in Purnia, Bihar, following the suicide of Shivam Dey, a student at Sharda University, Greater Noida. The young man was found dead in his hostel room on Independence Day, leaving his family in profound grief. Shivam’s parents, who had invested all their hopes in their only son, are now grappling with unanswered questions and the devastating reality of their loss.
Shivam, a bright student from Purnia, had excelled in his studies from a young age. His father, a modest salesman, had worked tirelessly to provide him with the best possible education, securing a student loan to cover the expenses. The family’s dream was to see Shivam become an engineer, a dream now shattered.
The most shocking revelation after the tragedy was that Shivam had not been attending classes for the past two years, a fact unknown to his family or friends. His father received regular emails and notifications from the university regarding fees, but the university never informed him about his son’s lack of attendance. This raises serious questions about the university’s responsibility and its failure to alert the family.
