A 17-year-old NEET aspirant from Bihar was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his room in Kota on Friday, the police said, in the third suspected suicide case within four days in the coaching hub.

Navlesh, from Patna city, allegedly hanged himself in his PG accommodation in Krishna Vihar in Landmark City late Thursday.

The Class 12 student had been preparing for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for over a year.

In a suicide note found in his room, the boy mentioned study-related stress and frustration over not performing well in routine tests at his coaching centre for his step, Kunhari police station SHO Ganga Sahay Sharma said.

On Wednesday, Dhanesh Kumar Sharma (15), a resident of Bulandshahr district in UP, was found hanging from the ceiling fan in his hostel room in the same area.

On Monday, Mohammed Nasid (22), from Bengaluru, had taken his life by jumping off the 10th floor of a building in Vigyan Nagar.
