An 18-year-old NEET aspirant from Odisha allegedly hanged himself in his hostel room here, police said on Friday.<\/p>\n

Officials said that no suicide note was recovered from the room. The incident occurred in Ambedkar Colony, Vigyan Nagar area on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

According to police, Abhijeet Giri, hailing from Mayurbhanj district in Odisha, had been preparing for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) at a coaching institute since April, 2024.<\/p>\n

The incident came to light when around 8 pm when a mess worker went to deliver food to Abhijeet’s room, a police officer said.<\/p>\n

Upon receiving no response, the mess worker along with a few hostellers forcibly opened the door and found him hanging from the ceiling fan, Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Lal Singh Tanwar said.<\/p>\n

A police team reached the spot and sent the body for post-mortem, which will be conducted after his family arrives. They have been informed about the incident, the ASI added.<\/p>\n

He said that no suicide note was recovered from the room and the reason behind the suicide is yet to be ascertained.<\/p>\n

The ceiling fan in the hostel room was not equipped with suicide prevention device, mandated by the district administration to prevent suicides in student accommodations, the officer said.<\/p>\n

Preliminary investigations suggest that Abhijeet was good in studies and attended his coaching classes regularly, he said.<\/p>\n

This is the third suicide by a coaching student in Kota this year. The city, a prominent hub for coaching institutes, saw 17 such cases in 2024.<\/p>\n
