The accused teacher tried to rape the minor girl who had come to take tuition from him in February 2022. He later murdered the girl after she refused to cooperate. He strangled her to death and flew away from the spot.
Meanwhile, DSP KS Rathore said that the NEET aspirant has denied attempting suicide or being depressed, however, he added that an investigation has been initiated into the matter.
Kota district administration issued an order requiring all hostels and paying guest (PG) accommodations to install spring-loaded fans in every room "to provide students mental support and security".
This is unfortunately fourth such case of suspected suicide in a span of just 15 days. This year, as many as 22 coaching students have reportedly committed suicide in Kota.
The victim has been recognised as Pushpendra Singh, a native of Jalore, a city in the Indian state of Rajasthan. He had only recently arrived in Kota and had signed up with a coaching facility to get prepped for the NEET exam.
A case has been filed under Indian Penal Code’s Section 306 (abetment to suicide) against the coaching centre. The Police are further investigating the matter.
