A 20-year-old NEET aspirant died after falling from the third floor of a residential building in Madhya Pradesh’s Indore late Thursday night, just two days before the NEET-UG re-examination scheduled for Sunday. The incident has added to growing concerns over the mental stress faced by students after the exam was cancelled over an alleged paper leak.
The deceased, identified as Avantika Maurya, was living with her elder sister in Indore while preparing for the medical entrance test. She was the daughter of a government medical officer from Dhar district.
Family Says Exam Cancellation Left Her Distressed
According to family members, Avantika had attempted the NEET exam three times earlier and had failed to qualify. This year was seen as her final major chance to secure admission into a medical college.
Her sister said Avantika had been under immense pressure since the cancellation of the exam on May 12. “She was confident that she had done well this time. But after the exam was cancelled, she became stressed and withdrawn,” her sister said.
Her father also said the family had noticed changes in her behaviour. “She wanted to become a doctor and was deeply upset after the exam was cancelled. She stopped eating properly and remained quiet most of the time,” he said.

There are moments in Gaza when suffering becomes so ordinary that people stop asking for solutions.
They begin asking only for the smallest relief. A little less pain.
A child who sleeps through the night.
When I entered the clinic that morning, I noticed a young woman carrying a baby so small that I could not tell whether the child was a newborn or simply made tiny by hardship.
When her turn came, she gently placed the baby on my desk and said:
“I want any cream you have.” Any cream. Not a specific medicine. Not a particular treatment.
Just anything.
She uncovered the baby and showed me the severe rash covering much of the child’s fragile skin.
“I treat the baby with whatever free creams I can find in clinics,” she explained.
“Anything helps.”
As she spoke, I noticed something else. The baby was not wearing a diaper. Only pieces of cloth.
I asked why.
“I can’t afford diapers,” she replied calmly. “I wash these and use them again.”
Then she added that they were living in a tent and that her husband had suffered a serious foot injury and was unable to work.
“I’m not asking for much,” she said.
“I only want a cream.”
But what caught my attention most was not the rash.
It was the malnutrition.
The baby was severely underweight. The kind of malnutrition that is visible before any examination even begins.
So I asked the mother whether she had noticed.
She nodded. “Yes, I know.”
Then she said something I cannot forget: “When the baby gets older, things will get better.”
Not because she truly believed it.
But because hope was cheaper than treatment.
And treatment was something she could no longer afford. That was the moment that broke me.
Not the tent. Not the poverty. Not even the illness.
But the fact that this mother had lowered her expectations so much that she no longer dreamed of proper medical care, diapers, or adequate nutrition.
She came asking for the smallest thing she could imagine. A tube of cream.
Any cream.
Something that might make the baby hurt a little less.
The baby could not have been more than five months old.
Too young to understand war. Too young to understand poverty. Yet already carrying both on that tiny body.
There is something profoundly cruel about a world in which a mother’s greatest hope for her child is no longer a better future.
Only a little less suffering tonight.

The State may use lawful force in genuine self-defense or to protect life. But it cannot convert an accusation into a conviction and a suspicion into an execution.

I write with Dr Istikhar Ali, mental health researcher, for The Telegraph on the mental health of Indian Muslims.
The crisis for Muslims is not only about hospitals or policy gaps, but about what prolonged vigilance does to ordinary life.
