As per News 18 report, the boy is a resident of Bihar’s Darbhanga. On Tuesday, he tried to jump off the third floor of a building on Vishvakarma Road where he was living as a paying guest but his batchmates rushed to rescue him.

"The teen is a student of Class 12 and was preparing for NEET at a coaching institute here for over a year. He had shifted to the PG in Vishvakarma Road earlier this month," said CWC member Vimal Jain.

"Before his first suicide attempt on Tuesday, the student sent a message on WhatsApp to a friend reading “Alvida (goodbye), I am going to die”. On learning about the text message, other students in the PG rushed out of their rooms and found the teen standing on a capstone on the third floor and rescued him. Following the suicide attempt, his friends kept an eye over him throughout the day," added Jain.
