“Death in the Name of Education”: Sharda University Under Fire After Student’s Suicide

Greater Noida | Khabar 24 Express : A university is supposed to be a safe haven for learning, growth, and hope. But what happens when the very place meant to shape futures becomes a mental torture chamber?
This isn’t just a tragic incident — it’s a damning indictment of Sharda University, one of the so-called prestigious institutions in Greater Noida, where a second-year BDS student, Jyoti Sharma, ended her life after alleged relentless harassment by her professors.

On Friday night, Jyoti was found hanging in her hostel room — but the noose wasn’t around just her neck, it was around the conscience of an entire system that failed her.

“My professors will be responsible for my death…” – Jyoti’s final cry for help

In a heartbreaking suicide note, Jyoti named her tormentors without hesitation:

“If I die, PCP and Dental Material teachers will be responsible. Mahinder Sir and Shaira Ma’am should be jailed. They mentally harassed me, insulted me, broke me. I can’t take it anymore. I’m sorry.”

This was not a cry for attention. This was a desperate scream of a girl pushed to the edge — not by personal failure, but by systemic abuse and institutional apathy.

When Educators Turn into Abusers, Who Do Students Turn To?

Sharda University markets itself as a top-tier institution. But behind the polished brochures and fancy websites lies a dark reality — where professors bully, humiliate, and mentally break students, unchecked and unaccountable.

Jyoti had reportedly informed her family multiple times about the ongoing mental harassment. Yet the university administration turned a blind eye, showing zero concern, zero sensitivity, and zero accountability.

When teachers become tormentors, and management becomes mute spectators, the campus turns into a graveyard of dreams.

Sharda University’s Cold Silence: A Bigger Crime Than the Harassment?

Even after Jyoti’s death shook the entire student community, not a single responsible figure from Sharda University’s management came forward to address the grieving family or take moral responsibility. The parents were left waiting outside the gates of the same institution that failed to protect their daughter.

In a moment of anguish, Jyoti’s mother slapped the university’s dean, a slap not just of pain, but of justice. It wasn’t just a grieving mother — it was every parent’s rage against an indifferent institution.

Token Arrests Won’t Bring Justice — We Demand Accountability

Yes, two professors — Mahinder and Shaira — have been arrested. But this is not enough. The family alleges involvement of at least three more faculty members and has demanded arrests under stringent legal provisions.

But what about the university itself?
What about the Vice-Chancellor, the Dean, the hostel wardens, and the entire system that allowed this abuse to go on?

Why is Sharda University not being held responsible for allowing a toxic environment where a student preferred death over returning to class?

This is Not an Isolated Case — This is a Dangerous Pattern

Today it’s Jyoti. Tomorrow, it could be someone else.

If Sharda University and others like it are not held accountable, mental harassment will continue to kill silently behind the locked doors of classrooms and faculty cabins.

Khabar 24 Express Demands:

1. Immediate suspension and investigation of all involved faculty members.
2. Public apology and accountability from Sharda University management.
3. Independent judicial probe into the incident.
4. Strong mental health support systems for students on campus.

Enough is Enough. One More Dead Daughter is One Too Many.

The question is no longer what happened to Jyoti?
The question is — why does Sharda University still get to call itself a place of learning?

Shame is not enough. We demand justice. Now.
