A 17-year-old girl committed suicide at her home in Tamil Nadu’s Tiruvannamalai on Monday night by consuming poison.
Her parents allege she took this major step after failing to clear the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance (NEET) exam, with a score of 39 marks out of 720.
Her body is presently kept at Villupuram Government hospital to conduct an autopsy.
In a similar incident, a 19-year-old NEET aspirant allegedly committed suicide by jumping from the 8th floor of a building in Delhi’s Dwarka Sector-12, after the results were announced.
A suicide note was found in his room which mentioned that he lied about the results to his parents.
