Denied permission to complete exam after caught cheating: MBBS student jumps to death from college building

Visakhapatnam: In a tragic incident, a final-year MBBS student of a private medical college in Tagarapuvalasa, who was giving his theory examination, allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the fourth floor of the college building. The medico reportedly jumped after exiting the exam room over being denied permission to sit for the examination.

According to a recent TOI report, the student was allegedly caught cheating during the examination. This led to the confiscation of his OMR sheet as a punishment. Despite pleading with Deputy Chief Superintendent Sridhar Reddy and the invigilator to let him continue with the exam, he was denied permission. Distressed by the incident, he reportedly died by suicide.

Following his death, several students of the medical college staged a protest, accusing the college management of being responsible for the student’s death. They also alleged that the administration acted irresponsibly after learning about the tragedy.
