In one of the most tragic incidents at Sharda University, Greater Noida, a 21-year-old female student of the medical department supposedly committed suicide in the university hostel. The video has sparked outrage across the country, not only over the tragic death of a young life but also the unimaginable result of such a death, as witnessed in an already viral video.

A video by NDTV India (view tweet) has revealed a mother of the girl slapping the Head of Department (HOD) of the medical faculty in a protest as she complained about the mental torture of her daughter.

Tragedy at Sharda University Hostel

The student who died is claimed to be a bright medical student, and she was hanged in her hostel. Initial examinations are pointing in the direction of suicide; however, relatives are convinced that something is not right in this case. The family, grief-stricken and enraged, blamed the university for laxity and an unhealthy school setting. The mother of the girl claimed that she had been under immense mental pressure exerted by the faculty on her, especially the HOD.

Viral Video Sparks Nationwide Reaction

Within a short time of the protests, a video was released online and gained momentum on the social network. It depicts how the sorrowful mother slapped the HOD in front of the crowd, and this scene shows both sadness and protest. The video has invoked shock, empathy, and anger among viewers, with many of them demanding an in-depth investigation and justice to be served on the student. 

Demands for Justice and University Accountability

It is not the only instance when a student's mental health has been questioned within the scope of demanding academic conditions; however, a nationally discussed topic has re-emerged out of this case. Students and alumni have also become a part of the protest demanding mental health reforms and a third-party investigation into the claims. A detailed official statement of the university has not been released yet, and has only exacerbated criticism due to the way it managed the situation.
