A 19-year-old NEET aspirant from Uttar Pradesh took his own life on Wednesday night in Rajasthan's Kota. The victim, Soumya, was a resident of Lucknow. She was attending private coaching classes for NEET preparation. This marks the eighth suicide recorded this year and the second incident within two days in the country's renowned 'coaching hub'. 


Kamlesh Kumar Sharma, the officer from Jawahar Nagar police station said that the student hailed from Lucknow and had been residing in Kota since last year, preparing for the NEET examination. She was staying at a PG accommodation in the Mahavir Nagar Pratham area.


Sources indicate that the body is awaiting the arrival of family members, who will then arrange for a post-mortem examination. The body has been transferred to the mortuary as investigations into the tragic incident continue.


On March 25, Uruz Khan (20), a NEET aspirant, was found hanging from the ceiling fan of his rented room in Kota. He hailed from Uttar Pradesh's Kannauj.


The father of the NEET aspirant has accused negligence on the part of the PG's owner and management for not installing an "anti-suicide" device on the fan, as reported by PTI.
