22-Year-Old NEET Aspirant Dies by Suicide in Rajasthan Ahead of Re-Examination
A 22-year-old NEET aspirant, Umesh Mali, was found dead by suicide in his Sikar flat days before the NEET-UG re-examination scheduled for June 21. This marks the second such case in Sikar within a month, following the death of another aspirant, Pradeep Meghwal. Umesh was preparing for his third attempt amid stress linked to the exam's cancellation and paper leak controversy. Authorities recovered a suicide note and are investigating the circumstances. The incidents have raised concerns about student mental health and exam pressures in Rajasthan.
