Police Manage to Prevent Suicide by NEET Aspirant in Kota  

Kota: Timely action by the local police could prevent a NEET aspirant from committing suicide.

The police personnel sprang into action after getting information from a friend of the NEET aspirant.

Police teams traced the boy from his hostel room in Landmark City under Kunhari police station. Police said he was handed over to his parents after counselling.

Police said a post on the youth’s Instagram account said that he was going to commit suicide at 2 pm on Saturday. But it was later found that his account was being operated by another friend from the PUBG group based in Madhya Pradesh.

The NEET aspirant had come to Kota only 10 days back. During counselling, he told police that he was depressed over the suicide of Ranveer Upadhyay on Friday in Varanasi.

The youth said he came into contact with Upadhyay through a PUBG group in which the latter was an admin.

The NEET aspirant had not met Upadhyay and the MP-based friend in person and came into contact with them during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Singh said the youth was handed over to his family members safely after counselling.
