The action on the hostel was initiated after it was found violating the guidelines put in place for the safety of students, the district collector said.
Days after a NEET aspirant from Uttar Pradesh died by suicide in his hostel room in Kota, the district administration seized the facility as it lacked 'anti-suicide devices' in ceiling fans, officials said on Saturday.
The 19-year-old student from Uttar Pradesh's Moradabad, who resided in Kanchan Residency in Rajiv Gandhi Nagar under the Jawahar Nagar police station area, allegedly died by suicide by hanging himself to a ceiling fan inside his hostel room on January 23.
The action on the hostel was initiated after it was found violating the guidelines put in place for the safety of students, Kota district collector Ravindra Goswami told in a press release on Friday evening.
