21-Year-Old NEET aspirant found dead in Kota, 13th student suicide this year
Jaipur: The body of a twenty-one-year-old medical student was found in his rented apartment on Wednesday, making it the thirteenth coaching student suicide that Kota has seen this year.
Only a week ago, Parshuram, an Uttar Pradeshi from Barsana in Mathura, moved to Kota to get ready for the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET).
Sub-inspector Gopal Lal Bairwa stated that at approximately 11.30 pm, Anoop Kumar, Parshuram's landlord, notified the police after realizing the man had not been seen for a few hours. Kumar stated that the student was drying clothes in the evening when he last saw him. He called the police after answering the door and getting no response.
When the police arrived, they found the body and called in a team from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) to gather evidence. The body has been transferred to the MBS Hospital mortuary, and once his family members get to Kota, a post-mortem will be conducted. Though the circumstances surrounding Parshuram's suicide are still unknown, it is thought that he died by hanging. An inquiry into the event is currently in progress.
Twelve suicides have been reported in Kota this year alone. Kota is the center for coaching centers that prepare students for competitive exams like the Joint Entrance (JEE) and NEET. This incident exacerbates Kota's mounting worries about the mental health of its students. Concerns over the difficulties students endure in the demanding academic environment are urgently raised as the issue worsens despite several efforts by the Kota Police and local government to lessen student stress and prevent suicides.

Integrity of electoral process severely compromised, Cong to soon launch movement: CWC
New Delhi (PTI): The Congress Working Committee met here on Friday and adopted a resolution alleging the integrity of the entire electoral process was being severely compromised against which the party would soon launch a movement.
In the resolution of the top body of the Congress, the party said free and fair elections is a Constitutional mandate that was being called into "serious question by the partisan functioning of the Election Commission".
The CWC, which met amid the ongoing Winter Session of Parliament, said the session has been a washout so far because of the Narendra Modi government's "stubborn refusal" to have an immediate discussion on three pressing national issues -- "the recent revelations regarding corruption by a business group, and the violence in Manipur and Uttar Pradesh's Sambhal".
Asked why the Congress Working Committee (CWC) resolution does not name the business group, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said, "The answer is the Adani group".
"The CWC believes the integrity of the entire electoral process is being severely compromised. Free and fair elections is a Constitutional mandate that is being called into serious question by the partisan functioning of the Election Commission.
"Increasing sections of society are becoming frustrated and deeply apprehensive. The Congress will take these up these public concerns as a national movement," the resolution stated.
Addressing a joint press conference along with Ramesh and Congress spokesperson Pawan Khera, party general secretary, organisation, K C Venugopal said the party discussed the political situation in the country for four-and-half hours and adopted the resolution.
He said the CWC has decided to constitute internal committees to look into electoral performance and organisational matters.
About the Assembly polls results in Maharashtra, Venugopal said the electoral outcome in the state was "beyond normal understanding and it appears to be a clear case of targeted manipulation".
