Ahilyanagar: A NEET aspirant allegedly died by suicide after scoring lower than expected in the medical entrance examination in Maharashtra’s Ahilyanagar district, according to her family.
The deceased, identified as Ankita Sangale, was a resident of Jalalpur village in Karjat taluka. Family members claimed she was under severe mental stress after securing 166 marks in the NEET examination, which they said fell short of her expectations.
According to the family, Ankita had been studying in a separate room at home on Saturday. When they did not hear any movement or response from her for a long time, they entered the room and found that she had allegedly died by suicide.
The police were informed immediately after the incident. Based on a complaint lodged by her relative, Anna Sangale, police have registered an Accidental Death Report (ADR) and initiated an investigation.
The family has maintained that Ankita’s disappointment over her NEET score drove her to take the extreme step. They said she had been emotionally distressed after the results were declared and was struggling to cope with the outcome.
