KOTA: A NEET-UG aspirant from Jammu and Kashmir died by suicide in Kota Sunday evening, marking the 15th student suicide in the coaching hub this year and the second in May.
The student, identified as Zeeshan Jahan, 18, was preparing for the
medical entrance exam
through self-study and was residing at a paying guest accommodation under the Mahaveer Nagar police station area.
According to police, Zeeshan allegedly hanged herself from the ceiling fan of her room while speaking on the phone with a relative, Burhan, in Jammu and Kashmir.
During the call, she reportedly hinted at her intent to take her life. Alarmed, Burhan immediately disconnected the call and contacted Mamta, a student living on the upper floor of the same building.
Mamta rushed to Zeeshan's room and found it locked from the inside.
She alerted others nearby, and with help from workers at a neighboring construction site, the door was broken open using a grinder. Zeeshan was found hanging and was taken to a hospital, where she was declared brought dead.
Circle inspector of Mahaveer Nagar police station said Zeeshan had previously studied in Kota and returned a month ago to prepare again for NEET-UG, this time without joining any coaching institute.

She had rented a room behind Pratap Chouraha for self-study.
The officer confirmed that no suicide note was recovered from the room and that the reason behind the extreme step is yet to be ascertained. He added that the ceiling fan in the room was not equipped with an anti-hanging device—equipment recommended in hostels and PGs to deter suicides.
The girl's body has been placed in the mortuary, and her family has been informed.
A post-mortem will be conducted after their arrival.
Notably, this marks the 15th case of suicide by a coaching student in Kota this year since January and the second this month.
Earlier, this month, another girl from Madhya Pradesh, also a NEET aspirant, committed suicide by hanging herself in her room under Kunhadi police station a day before the NEET-UG exam on May 3.

Kota: Rajasthan Police filed an FIR in connection with the suicide of a Jammu and Kashmir student in Rajasthan's Kota. Recently, the Supreme Court made strong remarks over the increasing number of such incidents in the city. The victim, identified as Zeeshan Jahan (18), a NEET aspirant from Anantnag, Jammu and Kashmir, was found dead in her PG accommodation in Mahavir Nagar on May 25. According to police, this is only the second case in Kota where an FIR has been filed in connection with a student suicide. The Supreme Court had earlier taken serious note of the rising student suicide cases in Kota. On May 23, a bench comprising Justice J.B. Pardiwala and Justice R. Mahadevan questioned the Rajasthan government's inaction, stating, 'Fourteen students have committed suicide in Kota so far this year. What are you doing about it as a state? Why are students committing suicide in Kota? Have you not given it any thought?' Following this, police filed FIRs in two separate student suicide cases—one at Kunhari Police Station and another at Mahavir Nagar Police Station. Mahavir Nagar Police Station Officer Ramesh Kaviya confirmed that Zeeshan Jahan was found hanging in her room. She had reportedly spoken to a person named Burhan on the phone shortly before the incident. After the call, Burhan contacted a mutual acquaintance in Kota, urging her to check on Zeeshan.

A postmortem examination was conducted in the presence of his relatives, who had arrived from Jammu and Kashmir. The police have registered a case under Sections 306 and 108 of the IPC, which pertain to abetment of suicide. The role of Burhan is under investigation.
