Kota: A 22-year-old NEET aspirant has died by suicide in Rajasthan's Kota, an official said on Monday. Police identified the deceased as Ranjit Singh, a resident of Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj. They said Ranjit has moved to Kota earlier in August 2022 to prepare for the medical entrance test.
Deputy Superintendent of Police Shankar Lal Meena said that he was preparing for the entrance exam with his friends on the G-24 plot of the city since August 2022. A suicide note which has some details about his love affair has been recovered from the spot, he said.
Punali police station officer Ganga Sahai Sharma said, "Ranjit had not come down since morning. He was in his room since morning. Ranjit's father Ratibhan Singh went to Kota to meet him today but he didn't open the door. Ranjit's father then informed the hostel director Kapil and when they opened the door, they found Ranjit dead."
