Kota: Principal, hostel warden among 4 booked for MBBS student's alleged suicide
Jaipur: The Kota police in Rajasthan on Saturday lodged a first information report (FIR) against the principal, and hostel warden along with two other students of the Kota Government Medical College in connection with the alleged death by suicide of a 28-year-old medical student on March 5, said officials. The station house officer (SHO) of Mahaveer Nagar police station, Ramesh Kabia, said, 'The FIR was based on a direction by the SC/ST Commission last week. We have lodged the report against the principal of the college, the hostel warden, and two other students for falsely implicating the victim in a case of copying during an exam last year and then barring him from the future exams, which caused significant mental stress on him that led the student to take the extreme step. The victim's family also alleged that it is possible that their son was murdered planfully by the accused. We are probing the matter.' According to the officials, the victim, a native of Jaipur's Bassi, was found dead at his hostel room in the college campus on March 5. 'He was a third-year student in the college at the time of death. A suicide note was also found from his belongings in which he stated that he had no reason to live as he failed to fulfil his parents' dreams.' Kabia further added: 'Prima facie, he was found copying in an exam in 2023 after which the college administration barred him from appearing in the future exams. Despite several requests, the administration declined to withdraw the order. The victim's father, in his primary report on March 19, alleged that his son was falsely accused of copying in the exam. The administration's approach had caused severe mental stress on him but the college still refused to listen to him.' 'His father also alleged that he suspects it could be a planned murder as there were injury marks on his body. However, police have not found anything in the autopsy report so far. We are checking the CCTV footage and will also question the accused regarding the matter,' said Kabia. The latest FIR was lodged against the college principal Sangeeta Saxena, the then-hostel warden Nilesh Jain, and two of the victim's classmates Adarsh Foujdar and Sandeep Man under section 102 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and necessary sections of SC/ST Act. Commenting on the case, Principal Saxena said, 'I have never met the boy and his family before. I had a word with our exam supervisors and members of the academic council who informed me that he was found copying from the phone and was barred from appearing in any exam. He was at home only after that incident. He arrived in the college only four days before his death.' She further added: 'It is surprising how my name appeared in this case. The warden Jain informed me about the suicide incident. I called the police. They recovered the body from the room. It is a suicide case only.' -------------------------------------------------- If you need support or know someone who does, please reach out to your nearest mental health specialist.

'Fantastic' Kabia keeps Truro City top of table
Truro City forward Jaze Kabia's performance was hailed as "fantastic" after his hat-trick saw the Tinners come back to win 3-1 at Hornchurch and stay top of National League win keeps Truro ahead of second-placed Worthing on goal difference as the top four sides all points separate Truro from fourth-placed Torquay, who they host on Good Friday, 19 April. Having gone behind to Tom Wright's 18th-minute goal and seen Dan Lavercombe pull off a couple of good saves to keep Truro in it, Kabia came to the Irish striker blasted into the top corner to level the game nine minutes after Palfrey's superb goal-line clearance from an indirect free-kick after a back-pass kept Truro in it before Kabia 66th-minute lob put City 2-1 completed his hat-trick four minutes later to secure three more vital points. "All three finishes are fantastic. He's got that in the locker, he's an unbelievable finisher," Truro City assistant manager Stewart Yetton told BBC Radio Cornwall. "It hasn't really gone for him in the last run of games, but they were big moments and big finishes and we needed that."I thought he was really good second half, and that's what you need sometimes, you need your big players to step up and that's what he's done." The win also guaranteed Truro a place in the play-offs, but they will be aiming for the automatic promotion place awarded to the league champions. The victory kept the title in Truro's hands, with their superior goal difference meaning should they win their three remaining matches, they will in all likelihood be crowned National League South champions. "We've still got three really tough games - Torquay's going to be huge, Weston away is never easy and St Albans are down there fighting for their lives, so it would be a very big ask to think you're going to go and win three games," Yetton added."So we take one game at a time. My friend sent me a photo on my phone and we were fourth at one point, so quite quickly it can turn around and you can find yourself first one minute, you could end up fourth within 90 minutes, so we don't look too far beyond the next game."I think by next Monday evening we might have a clearer picture of where we're really at."
