Depressed over NEET 2020 results, candidate allegedly commits suicide
Ludhiana: Disappointed over her National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) results, an 18-year-old girl allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself from the ceiling fan.
The candidate was prompted to take the extreme step as she wanted to enroll in MBBS but did not get the desired rank in the recent NEET. This pushed her into depression, claimed her parents, who are government teachers.
On October 18, her parents left for the market while she was alone at home, studying on the first floor in her house.
When the couple came back, they called her downstairs. However, there was no response from her. When the girl did not answer their repeated calls, they went upstairs only to find her hanging from the ceiling fan in her room.
They immediately cut the rope, lowered her down, and rushed to a nearby hospital. However, she was declared dead by the doctors.
