WOMAN DIED BY SUICIDE OVER NEET CANCELLATION, SAYS FAMILY
NEW DELHI, May 16 -- A 20-year-old woman medical aspirant allegedly died by suicide at her residence in Adarsh Nagar on Thursday afternoon, police said on Friday.
While no note was recovered, her family suspects she took the extreme step after being upset about the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test-Undergraduate (NEET-UG) cancellation.
Deputy commissioner of police (North West) Akansha Yadav said that a call was received at Adarsh Nagar police station by a priest regarding a woman's body being brought to Kewal Park crematorium in Azadpur.
"Police reached the spot and the woman was identified as a resident of Lal Bagh in Azadpur. Family members were unaware of the legal procedure in suicide cases and had brought the body directly for cremation," the DCP said. "Inquest proceedings have been initiated," the officer said.
The woman's twin sister, 20, who works at a retail apparel chain in northwest Delhi, said that her sister had given multiple attempts.
"She had been taking online coaching from a well-known institute. In her previous attempt, she was just short of four marks. This time, when she took the exam on May 3, she was very hopeful that she would clear the exam," she said.
