Another NEET aspirant committed suicide in Kota

In a suspected case of suicide, a 16-year-old NEET aspirant is found hanging in his hostel room in the Kunhari area of Kota.

In a fourth case of suspected suicide by a NEET aspirant this month, a 16-year-old student was found hanging in his hostel room in the Kunhari area of Kota, the police said on Thursday.

The deceased was identified as Aryan. He was found hanging from the ceiling fan of his hostel room at Kamla Udhyan in Landmark City on Wednesday night, they added.

He hailed from Bihar's Nalanda district and was a student of class 12 preparing for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) at a coaching institute here for over a year.

NEET is a crucial exam which puts a lot of pressure on the candidates as it decides their future and before and after NEET every year, such tragic news comes to light where the aspirants take the extreme step.

Aryan had returned to Kota from his hometown after the annual break only last month, Kunhari circle officer DSP Shankar Lal said. The boy reportedly attended the last class on Tuesday and skipped Wednesday's class and stayed in his hostel room, Kunhari Circle inspector Ganga Sahay Sharma said, as reported by rediff.com.

When he didn't receive repeated calls from his parents, the parents informed the hostel warden. The warden found the door bolted from inside and informed the police. The police broke the door and recovered the body, hanging from the ceiling fan, and placed it in a mortuary for the post-mortem which will be conducted once his parents arrive.
