According to the complaint filed by her father, the student was in good health and had spoken to her family on the night of June 20. During the conversation, she did not mention any illness, stress, or other concerns. The next morning, the family was informed that her condition had suddenly worsened and that she had been admitted to the ICU in critical condition.
Her father and other family members have strongly rejected claims that she suffered from epileptic seizures. They said she never had such a medical condition. While she had undergone a leg surgery around two to two-and-a-half years ago, they stated that she had recovered completely and was healthy thereafter.
Meanwhile, the post-mortem examination reportedly revealed that she died due to poisoning. However, the exact substance responsible for her death is yet to be identified.
Following the post-mortem examination, her last rites were performed on Sunday evening at Daraganj Ghat.
Speaking to Dainik Bhaskar, Airport Police Station SHO Rajesh Upadhyay said, "A written complaint has been received from the victim’s father and an investigation is underway."
