New Delhi: A 21-year-old medical aspirant allegedly died by suicide in his rented accommodation in Kota on Wednesday, marking the 13th case of suspected suicide this year among coaching students in the Rajasthan city.

An Uttar Pradesh native from Barsana, in Mathura, Parshuram had relocated to Kota only a week ago to prepare for the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET), NDTV reported.

Upon noticing that Parshuram had not been seen for several hours, his landlord, Anoop Kumar, alerted the police around 11.30 pm, sub-inspector Gopal Lal Bairwa said. Kumar reported that he last saw the student drying clothes in the evening. After receiving no response at the door, he contacted the authorities.

Police discovered the body and summoned a Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team to collect evidence. The body has been sent to the mortuary at MBS Hospital, with a post-mortem scheduled to take place after his family members arrive in Kota.

The reasons behind his suicide remain unclear. Parshuram is believed to have died by hanging,

There have been 12 suicide cases this year alone at Kota, which is the hub of coaching centres for the preparation of competitive exams such as the  Joint Entrance (JEE) and NEET.

Despite various initiatives by the Kota Police and local administration aimed at reducing student stress and preventing suicides, the situation continues to escalate, raising urgent questions about the pressure faced by students in the competitive academic environment.
