This is the 15th suicide by a coaching student this year in Kota. Ashutosh and his cousin were preparing for NEET-UG in Kota for the past six months and were living in the same PG.On Wednesday night, when the youth failed to respond to knocks on the door and phone calls from family members, the PG’s caretaker alerted police. Police found two separate notes addressed to Ashutosh’s parents and cousin, in which he had narrated his struggles with his neurological condition. The contents of the notes were withheld, with DSP Yogesh Sharma saying they were part of ongoing investigation. Ashutosh had come to Kota last year for NEET preparations, but had left after five-six days, only to return six months ago.
