Kota, February 9

A 17-year-old NEET aspirant died by suicide by jumping from the 10th floor of a multi-storey building in Kunhari area here, police said on Thursday.

The teen jumped from the 10th floor of her building at around 7pm on Wednesday and was killed on the spot, they said.

The police, following the initial investigation, confirmed that she died by suicide.

She left a one-line message ‘Good bye’ to her parents and family in a diary page recovered from her room, Circle Officer Shankar Lal said.

The deceased, a resident of Barmer district of Rajasthan, lived with her brothers and a sister, in a multi-storey building in Landmark City where she had been taking online coaching for National Entrance cum Eligibility Test (NEET), he said.

The body would be handed over to the family after post-mortem later on Thursday, the officer added.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
