NEET UG paper leak case: 17-year-old Goa teen ends life over cancelled exam
MARGAO: A 17-year-old student from Curtorim died by suicide at his residence on Wednesday after being distressed by the cancellation of the NEET following a paper leak controversy.
The teen, a student of a higher secondary school in Margao, left behind a note stating that he no longer wished to appear for competitive examinations. His father, a railway guard, discovered the body after returning home. His mother and sister had left for their native village prior to the incident.
Originally from Bengaluru, the teen hanged himself inside the residence. The Maina-Curtorim police station registered the case as an unnatural death, and the body has been preserved at the mortuary of the South Goa District Hospital.
“We are conducting further investigation,” said Maina-Curtorim police inspector, Kapil Naik.
