Earlier in February, 17-year-old Abhishek, a coaching student in Rajasthan`s Kota committed suicide by hanging himself owing to the pressure of exams. The boy who hailed from UP's Badaun was living in a Kota hostel for the last two years and was preparing for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET). He was not going to coaching for some time but was taking online classes from the hostel itself.

In the suicide note, Abhishek wrote: "I am apologising to you. I came to Kota on my own free will. No one pressurised me. Sorry Didi, Mummy Sorry Bhai, Sorry friends. Forgive me, I have lost. That`s why I want to die."

On receiving information about Abhishek`s suicide, father Aram Singh reached Kota on Friday morning. He said parents know how they raise children and teach them, but the coaching institutes "discriminate".

"That`s why children are committing suicide. Why is such a situation arising? What is the atmosphere that children are committing suicide," he questioned.
