Gwalior, Jun 4: An 18-year-old student in Gwalior died by suicide on Wednesday, a day after the National Testing Agency released the NEET answer key, police said. The boy, who had been preparing for the medical entrance exam for two years, shot himself with his father’s licensed gun.
The NEET exam was held on May 4, with the answer key released on Tuesday. According to Superintendent of Police Nagendra Sikarwar, the boy became depressed over his poor expected score. When asked about his results, he did not respond and later took his own life in a bedroom, dying instantly.
