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.
