A legal case has emerged at Sharda University following the tragic suicide of a student, Shivam Dey, in his hostel room.

The deceased student's father, Kartik Chandra Dey, filed a complaint alleging the university failed to notify the family about Shivam's prolonged class absences. This lack of communication, he argues, contributed to his son's emotional turmoil.

The university has expressed condolences and agreed to return unused fees to the family. In a similar incident, another student recently ended her life, accusing faculty members, who were then arrested.
