Jaipur, June 6: An 18-year-old medical aspirant committed suicide by jumping from the ninth floor of a building in Rajasthan's Kota, said police officials on Thursday.
The deceased was identified as Bagisha Tiwari, a resident of Madhya Pradesh who lived on the fifth floor of a multi-storey building with her mother and brother. She committed suicide a day after the announcement of NEET results on June 4. The officials said she was rushed to a private hospital but succumbed to her injuries an hour later.

Bagisha's father Vinod Tiwari, an engineer in PWD in Rewa, reached Kota at 7 a.m. He said that Bagisha scored 320 out of 720 marks in NEET results. "As she could not crack the exam, I assured her of getting her admitted to a private medical college. However, she said that she wanted to give one more try for the exam. I don't know why she took such a step," he said.
A video of this suicide surfaced on Thursday in which a girl is seen trying to stop Bagisha Tiwari. "Further investigations are on," said Sharma. It is the tenth case of suspected suicide by a student in the country's coaching hub, Kota, since January this year. Last year, 26 suspected suicide cases by coaching students were reported.
