Sanchita Ugale’s grandfather says the late student “had no godfather” and advanced on her own merit, according to NDTV. He is quoted as struggling to come to terms with her death and says the family has been unable to understand what she had been going through mentally. The remarks focus on addressing claims or speculation about the role of external influence in her progress, with the grandfather asserting that there was no patron or backer who helped her move forward. He also highlights the family’s difficulty in grasping the mental state that may have preceded her death. The report presents the grandfather’s statements without additional supporting detail in the provided text, and does not cite any specific investigations, official findings, or institutional actions. The account therefore centers on the family’s perspective, particularly the grandfather’s denial of a “godfather” influence and his comments on the emotional and mental challenges his granddaughter may have faced.
