Teen with 99.99 percentile clears NEET, but didn’t want to be doctor, dies by suicide

A 19-year-old youth who had cleared the NEET allegedly ended his life in the district on Tuesday with his suicide note stating that he did not want to study medicine, police said.

The deceased was identified as Anurag Anil Borkar, resident of Nawargaon in Sindewahi taluka.

Anurag, securing 99.99 percentile, had recently cleared the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test and secured 1475th rank in the OBC category, and was set to begin his MBBS admission in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, said a senior police officer.

Borkar was found hanging from the ceiling by his family in the early hours.

A suicide note recovered from his room said he did not wish to pursue a career in medicine but wanted to get into business.

Further probe was underway, the official said.
