A family in Nagpur is mourning the loss of their daughter, Akanksha Chaturvedi, who tragically took her own life following the NEET paper leak controversy. The incident has left the family in deep grief, with her mother, Neelam Chaturvedi, questioning the systemic failures that led to her daughter's demise. "The paper can be re-conducted, but can you bring my daughter back?" she asked, expressing her anguish over the situation.
Akanksha, described as a bright student with aspirations of becoming a doctor, was reportedly expecting over 650 marks in the NEET examination. However, news of the paper leak caused her significant mental distress, pushing her into depression. Her father, Krishna Kumar Chaturvedi, had taken loans amounting to over ₹15-20 lakh to support her education. Tragically, he was unable to attend her last rites due to his deteriorating health, which worsened upon hearing the news of her death. He is currently undergoing treatment in a Nagpur hospital.
The family’s financial struggles have been compounded by medical expenses and prior debts. Akanksha’s younger brother and other relatives have shared how the paper leak shattered her confidence and led to her withdrawal from daily activities. Local representatives from the opposition have provided ₹2.5 lakh in financial assistance to the family, while the ruling party has yet to extend support.
The incident has sparked concerns in the community, with many parents now hesitant to send their daughters outside the village for higher education. The family continues to grieve, with Akanksha’s grandparents and extended relatives expressing their sorrow over the loss of a promising young life.
