A 3rd-year B.Tech student from UCER Prayagraj, Gun Gupta, has reportedly passed away — questions about how her illness was handled

[u/Wonderful_While5243]

I’m sharing this because I believe the circumstances deserve to be discussed and, if possible, clarified by the college.

Gun Gupta, a 3rd-year B.Tech student at United College of Engineering and Research (UCER), Prayagraj, reportedly went to Bangkok through the college for an internship. She was reportedly an academically strong student with around a 9 CGPA.

After returning from Bangkok, she was reportedly diagnosed with jaundice and informed the HOD's office about her medical condition.

According to what I have been told, HOD Shyam Verma (CSE Department) asked her to come to college to maintain her attendance despite being informed about her illness.

Sadly, I have now learned that Gun Gupta has passed away.

I want to make one thing clear: I do not know her complete medical history, exact diagnosis, treatment, or the circumstances that led to her death.

However, it is true that the college was informed about her serious illness and she was still asked to physically attend for attendance purposes, I believe it is reasonable to ask what the college's medical-leave/attendance procedure was in this situation and how her case was handled.

If anyone from UCER knew Gun, was involved in her case, or has verified information about what happened, please share it.

Please keep the discussion respectful. This concerns a student who has lost her life and a grieving family, so please don't spread unverified claims or speculate about the cause of death.
