Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): Even before the commencement of the X board examination, a student committed suicide due to fear of examination. After consuming a poisonous substance on Wednesday, he was admitted to the hospital for treatment where he succumbed on Thursday afternoon. A 15-year-old class X student Nilesh Yadav, a resident of Awantipura, consumed a poisonous substance on Wednesday night. When his health deteriorated he was taken to the District Hospital where he told his family that he had consumed poison due to fear of the upcoming examination. When his health deteriorated, the child’s father took him to a private hospital, where he died on Thursday afternoon.
Harsh Jain, who is a neighbour of the deceased, said that the child’s father works at Dhanwantri College. His son Nilesh was a student of Sant Leela Convent School, Jiwajiganj. Some other neighbours said that the child was doing well in his studies. Even after this why did he take such a step? His first Hindi paper was on February 5. But before that he could not bear the pressure of the examination and took the step of suicide. The biggest thing is that from where did the minor get the poison which he consumed and committed suicide?
