Though Shiali was asthmatic, she had unfortunately forgotten to bring her inhaler along when set out for the trekking.

As soon as the girl fell terribly sick due to the asthmatic attack, her friends Uttara Ray and Srujita Bhattacharya somehow managed to rush her to a local health hub, Subarnarekha Nursing Home where the doctors declared her as dead.
