JAIPUR: A 26-year-old MBBS student of Kota Medical College died by suicide in his hostel room Wednesday night, leaving a brief note apologising to his parents for not being able to fulfil their dreams. The student, Sunil Bairwa, was a resident of Bassi in Jaipur.

Police said Sunil was suspended from college for a year during third year after being allegedly caught cheating, which led to the cancellation of two papers he wrote. Officials suspect the suspension and subsequent struggles with the college administration pushed him into depression, ultimately leading to his death.

His body was discovered in his room at the undergraduate hostel, according to Mahaveer Nagar police station SHO Ramesh Kavia. The hostel warden first informed the college principal, who then contacted the police. Officers found the two-line suicide note in his room.

Alleging harassment by the college, Sunil's father, Kajodmal, said Sunil secured admission to Kota Medical College in the 2019-20 after learing NEET. Kajodmal said Sunil failed his first year exam, but a review of his answer sheets after the family filed a case with Rajasthan University of Health Sciences (RUHS) declared him as having passed nearly eight months after the original results were published.

Sunil encountered fresh difficulties in the third year, when he was accused of cheating, resulting in two papers he wrote getting cancelled. Kajodmal alleged Sunil was unable to continue his studies in the last year and a half after successive difficulties. He also said whenever Sunil approached the administration to seek resolution, they harassed him instead of offering support.
