HYDERABAD: AN 18-year-old girl from Hyderabad allegedly committed suicide on Tuesday by jumping from the 10th floor of a commercial complex purportedly as she was upset over her performance in NEET. Videos of Jasleen Kaur jumping from the building went viral within minutes.
It is through the videos that her family came to know of her death and approached the police. Daughter of businessman Ranveer Singh, Jasleen had recently completed her second year intermediate in Biology, Physics and Chemistry from Sri Chaitanya Junior College in Narayanaguda.
The medical aspirant went into a state of depression, according to her family, on Monday afternoon when the NEET results were announced. Occupants of Mayur Kushal Complex in Abids, from where she jumped, are shocked. “When I went to check (after hearing a loud noise) I saw her on the ground. Many auto drivers said they had shouted to the girl not to jump. Some were making a video of the incident on their mobile phones,” said Gopi, who works at a shop in the complex.
Jasleen’s family members said they were not even aware of her NEET score. Abids sub inspector K Lakshmaiah said the teenager had left home at 8.30am. “She told her parents she was going to the gym. However, she came to Abids on her bike, parked it in Chirag Ali Lane and walked into the building from which she jumped,” the official said. Police have registered a case of suspicious death.
