A 17-year-old NEET aspirant allegedly committed suicide here, police said on Friday.
Suhani Yadav took the step on Tuesday, ahead of the NEET re-exam scheduled for June 21.
The girl was found hanging from a fan in her house, Station House Officer of Bazar Khala police station Brijesh Singh said, adding no suicide note was recovered.
The family told police that she had performed well in the May 3 NEET-UG examination, which was cancelled, and she was hopeful of clearing it. However, after cancellation of the examination, she had slipped into a depression.
“She was in a state of depression for two to four days, after which she again started preparing for the examination. The family said she was under pressure due to the examination," Singh said.
The family hails from Patna and her father is a Travelling Ticket Examiner in the Railways.
The National Testing Agency (NTA) had cancelled the NEET (UG) 2026 exam held on May 3 amid allegations of paper leak, with the government asking the CBI to carry out a comprehensive inquiry into the irregularities.
