HYDERABAD: Allegedly upset over her performance in the NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test), an 18-year-old girl from Hyderabad jumped to death from the 10th floor of a commercial complex at Abids on Tuesday.

The businessmen and workers at Mayur Kushal Complex in Abids were thrown into a state of shock with a girl committing suicide by jumping from the top floor of the complex.

The Kacheguda police then passed the information to the Abids police and sent the girl's family members to Abids.
Gopi, an employee of a jewellery shop in the building said "At around 10.20 am, I heard a very loud noise. I thought an air conditioner fixed in any of the floors would have fallen. When I rushed to check, it was a girl in her teens who jumped to death. Many auto drivers have also come to the spot when I reached. They told they were shouting loud to stop the girl from jumping and one of them has even captured a video."
The CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) announced the NEET results on Monday. Jasleen, who was hoping to get a good rank, went into a state of depression since Monday afternoon, Jasleen's family members told the Abids police.
