A 20-year-old woman, preparing for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) in Delhi's Azadpur area, allegedly died by suicide at her residence. The police received a call regarding her body being taken to Kewal Park crematorium without notifying them. Upon investigation, it was revealed that the woman had been studying for the NEET examination for several years. The family claimed they were unaware of the legal formalities required in such cases, prompting them to proceed with the cremation. The body has since been moved to Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital for a post-mortem examination, while a forensic team has been dispatched to collect evidence from the scene. This tragic incident comes amid rising anxiety among NEET aspirants due to uncertainties surrounding the examination, particularly after the National Testing Agency canceled the NEET-UG exam conducted on May 3 due to a paper leak. Earlier this week, another NEET aspirant, a 17-year-old from Goa, reportedly died by suicide, expressing frustration over competitive exams in a suicide note. These incidents underscore the mental health challenges faced by students in high-pressure academic environments.
