The incident took place on Saturday evening at around 4.30pm at her residence.

Family members said she had been given a separate room for her studies, where she regularly prepared for competitive examinations.

When there was no response from the room for a prolonged period, family members opened the door and found her unresponsive. They immediately informed the police.

Based on a complaint from a family member, police registered an accidental death report and started an investigation. 

In a note recovered after her death, the student expressed regret over not being able to fulfil her family’s expectations after preparing for NEET.

“You gave me so much love, but I couldn't fulfil even one of your wishes. Mom, you supported me like a friend in every difficulty. Dada (brother), you also supported me a lot. You loved me even more than Mom and Dad. You are not responsible for my suicide,” she wrote, quotes IANS

She added that her family had sacrificed a lot for her education.

“Even when I was studying for NEET, you sacrificed everything for me, and I failed, unable to fulfil your wishes,” she said in the note.

She also urged her brother to look after their parents.

“Brother, please take good care of Mom and Dad. Don't let them lack anything,” she wrote. 

Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident.
