Kanimozhi was depressed after she wrote NEET, says father
The body of an 18-year-old girl belonging to Sathampadi village near Jayankondam, who had written the National Eligibility and Entrance Test (NEET) on Sunday in Thanjavur, was found in her home at Thularankurichi on Tuesday morning, the police said. No suicide note was found.
K. Kanimozhi had studied Plus Two at a private school in Namakkal.
According to her parents, the girl was seen depressed since she wrote the NEET. “She told me that she could not do well in the examination as physics and chemistry questions were tough. I consoled her, but she could not digest it and ended her life. No one should undergo such trauma in life,” said Karunanidhi, father of Kanimozhi, a lawyer.
