TOI reports have it that she had slipped into a coma due to hemorrhagic dengue and was then taken to Naihati Hospital on 30th of Oct. Her father who works as an Ambulance Driver at Naihati Hospital then took her to SSKM on 3rd of November after her health continued to deteriorate.

Sangita was suffering from a complicated case of dengue necrotic hemorrhagic meningoencephalitis that usually affects kids. “We were trying hard to bring this patient out of coma, when Sandeep suggested that we use music therapy,” said Rajat Choudhury, associate professor of anesthesiology and ITU in-charge.
