Sangli Shocker: Girl Dies After Being Beaten Up By Father Over NEET Score
During the beating, a heated argument broke out when Sadhana questioned her father's achievements despite his education. Enraged by her defiance, he beat her more brutally
In a heartbreaking incident from Nelkaranji village in Maharashtra's Sangli district, a father has been arrested for allegedly beating his daughter to death over poor exam performance. The victim, Sadhana Dhoniram Bhosale, a Class 12 science student in Atpadi taluka in the district, aspired to become a doctor. Sadhana's father was a teacher in a private school educational institution in the village.
Sadhana, who dreamed of becoming a doctor, had recently appeared for a NEET mock exam. When the results showed a low score, her father, Dhondiram Bhosale, allegedly lost his temper and beat her severely. He reportedly used a wooden stick traditionally associated with their caste during the assault.
During the beating, a heated argument broke out between Sadhana and her father. She reportedly questioned him, saying, 'How did you become a collector after studying so much?" Offended by her defiant remark, Dhondiram Bhosale allegedly flew into a rage and beat her even more brutally, leaving her seriously injured.
In a deeply disturbing turn of events, instead of taking his injured daughter to the hospital, Dhondiram Bhosale reportedly went to school the next day to participate in International Yoga Day celebrations. When he returned home, he found Sadhana unconscious.
Alarmed by her unresponsiveness, her parents rushed her to the hospital, but it was too late—she had already died. Following the incident, her mother, Preeti Bhosale, filed a police complaint, and Dhondiram Bhosale was arrested on Sunday.
The incident has triggered widespread outrage in Nelkaranji village and across Atpadi taluka, highlighting the urgent need for society to reflect on the intense academic pressure placed on children.

Maharashtra: 19-year-old NEET aspirant ends life after editing scorecard to hide poor marks in Latur; police probe underway
CHHATRAPATI SAMBHAJINAGAR: A 19-year-old BSc agriculture student from Rajasthan, who was studying in Latur, allegedly ended his life by hanging in his hostel room last week after struggling to cope with his NEET scores. He allegedly edited his scorecard to show 545 marks, but actually scored 170, police said. Latur superintendent of police Somay Munde told TOI, "We have registered a case and also seized his edited NEET scorecard." After student Deepak Kumar, a first-year student at the Agriculture College in Latur, was found hanging in his hostel room on June 19, the police recovered two NEET scorecards — one showing 170 marks and another 'doctored version' displaying 545 marks. Investigations revealed that the fake scorecard was shared by the student on his friends' WhatsApp group, earning him praise before the discrepancy was discovered by some of them. "He allegedly edited the original PDF using a cellphone application to display higher scores. He then allegedly shared the doctored scorecard with his friends," said a senior police officer privy to the investigation. According to the police, the student's edited scorecard raised suspicions due to a 13-digit application number discrepancy and a non-scanning QR code. The police believe the realisation of his forgery likely caused intense emotional distress, contributing to his alleged suicide. The police have ruled out the involvement of any organised racket or external agents in the manipulation. "There is no evidence suggesting that the student procured a fake scorecard from any agency or that he was part of any racket," Inspector Santosh Patil of the Shivajinagar police said. Counsellors familiar with such cases said it was not the first case of students digitally altering mark sheets to cope with the pressure of competitive exams. "Many students fake marks just to pacify parents temporarily or buy time for another attempt," a counsellor at the college said. Deepak gained admission through the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) quota and was known to be preparing simultaneously for NEET alongside his regular college coursework. Police are awaiting a forensic report of the cellphone for further details.
