Jaipur, March 25 (NationPress) A 19-year-old National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) candidate reportedly took his own life in Jodhpur, leaving behind a note expressing remorse and seeking forgiveness.
The body of Rohit Bhati was discovered hanging in his hostel, accompanied by a suicide note that read - "Sorry, forgive me Chinnu," according to authorities.
Investigations are underway to determine the individual to whom he was apologizing in the note.
Originally from Ras in Beawar, Bhati had moved to Jodhpur only a year prior, residing at the 'Diksha Classes' hostel in Chaupasni Housing Board, Sector-17.
The hostel owner was the first to discover him and promptly alerted the police.
Upon hearing the devastating news, Rohit's father, Mohanlal Mali, along with other family members, rushed to Jodhpur.
After a post-mortem examination at AIIMS, the police returned the body to the family.
Meanwhile, efforts are being made to retrieve Bhati's call detail records.
Authorities believe that insights into the reason behind his suicide could be uncovered by examining his mobile communications.
On Monday, the Rajasthan Assembly engaged in extensive discussions regarding the Rajasthan Coaching Centres (Control & Regulation) Bill, 2025, which addressed the critical issues of student mental health and suicides.
This Bill was presented in the Assembly on March 19, in response to the alarming number of suicides occurring predominantly in Kota, a renowned hub for coaching institutes specializing in entrance exams for prestigious medical and engineering colleges.
In contrast to the Central government’s guidelines, the state of Rajasthan has removed the 16-year age limit for students wishing to enroll in coaching institutes, as stipulated in the Bill.
The opposition Congress party has criticized the BJP government for imposing excessive stress on students by eliminating the minimum age requirement for attending coaching classes.
The Bill has made the aptitude test for students optional, diverging from earlier drafts which suggested it should be mandatory. Additionally, the penalties for coaching centers that breach regulations have been raised.
