Another JEE student suicide in Kota jumped from a height of 70 feet at 3 am

Vivek was taken to a hospital where he died during treatment, he said. The DSP said that the safety net installed on the balcony of the boy's room had holes and was found scratched indicating that it might have been tampered with to facilitate the jump. A forensic team was sent to the spot for collecting evidence and investigating the circumstances leading to the cause of death, he added.

However, as to whether the safety net was damaged or tampered with deliberately, that has to be decided, the DSP said. "The post-mortem of the body will be carried out after the arrival of the parents and a case will be registered based on the statement of the parents," He said. And this is not the first case of its kind, either. This is the 16th suicide by a coaching student in Kota since January this year; whereas last year, 26 such cases were reported in the city.
