After failing to get admission in medical college via National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET), an 18-year-old student committed suicide by hanging herself at her residence in South Delhi's Pushp Vihar on Wednesday.
The girl has been identified as Sitara Trishna who had scored good marks in her Class XII. She was preparing hard to get admission through NEET but she scored 1,833 ranks in the entrance test. On Tuesday, after failing to get a call for the first counseling, she was depressed. However, no suicide note has been recovered.
According to a senior police official, at the time of the incident she was alone in the house at the first floor of SIT tower in K-Block of Pushp Vihar area. Her mother went to hospital, while her father-Trilochan who is posted as Section Officer in RK Puram's Sashastra Seema Bal was also on his duty. Trishna's younger brother and sister went to school.
The incident came to light around 1.30 pm when her mother’s call went unanswered and she informed one of the neighbour to find out the reason. In the meantime, Trishna's siblings returned from school and found the door locked from inside. When someone managed to get inside the house from the window, Trishna was found hanging from the ceiling fan.
She was rushed to Max hospital where she was declared brought dead. Her body has been preserved in the mortuary and the post-mortem is likely to be conducted on Thursday. Further investigation is underway, police said.
