Third-year B.P.Ed student Shruti Upadhyay passed away at a private hospital in Guwahati on Tuesday after complaining of abdominal pain since September 4, according to local reports. Students from the Lakshmibai National Institute of Physical Education (LNIPE) in Sonapur staged a protest on Wednesday, demanding a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death and an examination of the institute's medical facilities.
They alleged that Shruti was given painkillers by the institute's authorities despite expressing her condition, and that her situation worsened after she was taken to Sonapur District Hospital on September 6. Students further expressed concerns over the delay in recognizing the seriousness of her condition and the referral to the private hospital, questioning whether there were any lapses in treatment.
The students called for a transparent probe into the matter, emphasizing the need for adequate medical support and emergency protocols in a premier institute dedicated to physical education and sports.
