LNIPE Student Shruti Upadhyay Dies After Abdominal Pain

A third-year B.P.Ed student, Shruti Upadhyay, died at a private hospital in Guwahati on Tuesday morning due to abdominal pain. The incident occurred after she had been complaining of abdominal pain since September 4.

According to local media reports, Shruti informed the concerned authorities about her condition but was given painkillers. Her condition reportedly worsened on September 6, following which she was taken to Sonapur District Hospital. Despite receiving treatment, she continued to remain unwell.

Students further said that Shruti later developed difficulty in passing urine and her condition became more serious. She was subsequently referred to a private hospital in Guwahati for further treatment. Doctors at the private hospital identified a serious medical complication.

Shruti died on Tuesday after being brought to the hospital. However, the exact medical cause of her death has not yet been officially confirmed.
