A 23-year-old NEET aspirant took her own life at her house in Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Tuesday morning due to 'dissatisfaction over excelling in her studies'. The victim did not show any prior signs of depression or behavioural change, according to a police official.
The victim, a college topper, had scored 96.7% marks in Class 12 and was preparing for the re-NEET exam. A suicide note recovered from the site contained the words 'Mom and Dad, I love you' along with remarks expressing her dissatisfaction with not being able to accomplish well in her further studies.
The police said that the incident came to light when her mother was calling her for breakfast and found her hanged in the room. The parents said there were no indicators in the lead up to the event to suggest that their daughter was considering such a drastic step.
This incident is the latest in a slew of suicides across the country by NEET aspirants struggling with their mental health in light of the paper leak and a re-exam now being scheduled by the government.
