Sudiksha, a 19-year-old girl from Noida's Gautam Buddha Nagar died on Monday after she fell off from a bike, while she was being chased by eve-teasers on her way to meet her relatives in Sikandrabad. Sudiksha was accompanied by her uncle Manoj Bhati, at the time of the incident. Hailing from a small village in Bulandshahar, Sudiksha was the daughter of Jitendra Bhati - a tea seller. She made headlines after her excellence in studies bagged her a scholarship from Boxon College, USA.
Sudiksha did her schooling from HCL Foundation's school of knowledge, where she emerged the district topper in the CBSE Board examinations, in 2018. Sudiksha pursued her graduation and internship from Boxon College after she had moved to America in August 2018.
