Tragic Incident: NEET Aspirant’s Suicide in Kota
Kota: In a heartbreaking incident, an 18-year-old NEET aspirant named Ankush Meena tragically died by suicide at his PG accommodation in Kota’s Pratap Nagar area. This act, allegedly following a dispute with his girlfriend, marks the seventh suicide of a coaching student in Kota this year.
Background of the Incident
Ankush, hailing from Bagdoli village in Sawai Madhopur district, had been dedicatedly preparing for the NEET-UG entrance exam at a local coaching institute for over a year and a half. On Tuesday morning, he was discovered dead in his room by a cousin who lived nearby. Initial investigations by the police suggest that a breakup may have led to this drastic decision, although no suicide note was found.
Academic Performance and Family Insights
Ankush had communicated with his father earlier that day but did not disclose any personal issues. According to his maternal uncle, he had been performing well academically, consistently scoring around 480 out of 720 marks in routine tests at the coaching institute. This highlights the unfortunate reality that academic pressure may not always be the underlying cause of such tragic events.
Calls for Awareness and Support
The police have registered a case and are awaiting the autopsy report to ascertain the exact reasons behind Ankush’s death. This incident brings to light the need for improved mental health support for students in high-pressure environments like coaching institutes.
