2 NEET Students Commit Suicide In Kota, Total Count Reaches 24 This Year

On Sunday, two NEET applicants committed suicide in Rajasthan’s Kota, bringing the year’s total to 24.

Two students died by suicide at Kota

The murdered students were identified as second-year student Adarsh Raj and 18-year-old Avishkar Shambaji Kasle.
Avishkar reportedly leaped off the teaching facility’s sixth floor at around 3:15 p.m., just minutes after finishing a test.
He was taken to a hospital by the workers of the institute, but he passed away there. A CCTV camera placed on the property recorded the incident.

About the students

Adarsh Raj, a Bihar native who had also taken the test, committed suicide by hanging himself at around 7 o’clock that evening in his rented flat. He allegedly took the drastic action out of concern about scoring poorly on the test.

Avishkar, a Class 12 student from Maharashtra’s Latur district, had been studying for the NEET UG exam in the city for three years, and he shared a rental room in the Talwandi neighborhood with his maternal grandparents.

In Maharashtra, his parents work as public school teachers.

What do the police have to say?

A police official who commented on the situation revealed that Avishkar passed away after falling from the coaching facility’s sixth floor.
According to investigators, the second student, Adarsh, previously resided with his relatives while he was studying for competitive examinations. When he was hauled down, he was apparently breathing, but he passed away on his way to the hospital.

No suicide note found: Police

No suicide notes were found in either of the student’s rooms, according to the authorities.
Additional inquiries were being made, and on Monday, the remains of both pupils will be submitted for postmortems.

District Collector OP Bunkar gave the coaching center the order to stop conducting exams in the next two months on Sunday. Additionally, he ordered the institute to equip every fan in a room with anti-suicide technology.

Additionally, Bunkar gave the order to provide students with at least one “free day” per week, during which there will be no courses or exams.

In the coaching hotspot, where almost 3 lakh students from all over the country are currently studying for various competitive exams in different colleges in the city, fifteen coaching students committed suicide last year.
