ग्रेटर नोएडा की शारदा यूनिवर्सिटी के हॉस्टल में BDS की छात्रा ने फांसी लगाकर जान दी।
सुसाइड नोट में लिखा– मेरी मौत के जिम्मेदार महेंद्र सर और शार्ग मैम हैं। इन्होंने मुझे मानसिक रूप से प्रताड़ित किया, अपमानित किया।

Then, Knowledge Park police officers arrived at the hostel following alerts about a suspected suicide incident. Next, they took the body to the hospital, where doctors declared her dead upon arrival for a post-mortem. Moreover, the Sharda University BDS Student incident sparked immediate outrage among students, local support groups, and online communities.
Suicide Note Names Two Professors for Mental Harassment
A suicide note found in Jyoti Sharma's hostel room directly accused two professors of mental harassment. In the note, she mentioned repeated humiliation and emotional distress over a long period. Jyoti clearly blamed the professors for her death and called for legal action.
She wrote, "If I die, the teachers of PCP and Dental Material are to blame. Mahinder Sir and Shairq Maam are responsible for my death. I want them to go behind the bars. They mentally harassed me. They humiliated me."
Students Stage Protest, Accuse Administration of Ongoing Psychological Harassment
After the suicide news, students gathered outside the administration building to publicly voice strong grievances. Then, protesters accused the administration of ignoring repeated pleas from students about serious mental harassment issues. Moreover, they highlighted how allegations of forged signatures had added to Jyoti's mounting stress before the tragedy.
A minor scuffle unexpectedly erupted when police tried forcefully to disperse the angry student protest crowd. Meanwhile, university officials remained publicly silent as the demonstration continued for several long, tense, unresolved hours.
Police Register FIR, Both Accused Faculty Members Arrested
ADCP Sudhir Kumar confirmed police received a distress call on July 18, 2025, from Knowledge Park station. Then, officers reached the Sharda University hostel and conducted a detailed panchnama immediately at the crime scene. Moreover, the police arrested Mahinder Sir and Shairq Maam following the FIR registration under relevant legal sections.
Furthermore, officers calmed agitated students and assured them of transparent investigation measures moving forward. Then, police teams took her body for an autopsy while her family awaited investigation updates. Finally, Mr Kumar asserted that authorities would ensure swift legal steps and frequent progress reports for concerned parties.
Netizens Demand Justice, Express Outrage
The heartbreaking news of the BDS student’s death triggered a flood of emotions across social media platforms. One user commented, “Is ghatna ne dil dahla diya. Teachers ke taraf se mansik pareshani dena bilkul unacceptable hai. Police ne sahi kadam uthaya, lekin aisi ghatnaon ko rokne ke liye sakht kadam aur awareness zaroori hai,” shows deep shock and a strong appeal for stricter action.
Another wrote, “Ye professor aaj ke zamane mein sirf moti rakam leke chhatron aur chhatrayon ko mentally pareshan karte hain,” the comment reflected growing anger and frustration. A viewer added, “Arrest this people and hand them,” clearly demanding strict punishment for the accused.
Authorities must prioritise student safety and mental health through regular, strict oversight of faculty conduct. Finally, the Jyoti Sharma case demands urgent reforms to prevent another tragedy at this university.
