Kota: 17-Year-Old JEE Aspirant Dies By Suicide

The police reported that a 17-year-old JEE candidate hanged himself in his dorm room, the eleventh occurrence of suspected suicide by students enrolled in this coaching centre this year.

They stated that Bhargav Keshav’s body was discovered hanging from his room’s ceiling fan in Rajiv Gandhi Nagar in the Jawahar Nagar neighbourhood.

Keshav, a citizen of Maharashtra’s Nandurbar district, spent the previous two months studying at a local coaching centre in preparation for the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE).

According to DSP Amar Singh, Jawahar Nagar Circle Officer, the youngster allegedly hanged himself to death on Monday when his parents, who had arrived earlier in the morning to meet their son, were out getting breakfast.

The parents noticed the door locked from the inside when they went back to their son’s room to bring him food. They alerted the caretaker after discovering this. According to Singh, the caretaker saw Keshav’s body hanging from the ceiling fan with a bed sheet after looking through the window.

He claimed that after the youngster was taken to a hospital, the doctors there declared him dead.

The CO stated that the cause of the suicide has not yet been determined and that neither the parents nor any suicide note was found in his room.

One of the victim’s classmates stated Keshav was sincere about his academics during the first investigation, the DSP continued.

After the post-mortem, the deceased’s body was given to his parents, and a case of unnatural death was filed under section 174 of the Criminal Procedure Code, according to the police.

The most recent occurrence marks the eleventh possible example of coaching student suicide in Kota this year.

At least 15 coaching students committed suicide last year. This academic year, it is projected that more than 2.25 lakh students are enrolled in lessons at the city’s numerous coaching facilities in an effort to pass the admission tests for engineering and medical schools.
