21-yr-old CA aspirant fails exam, ends life
PrintListen to this Article
A 21-year-old Chartered Accountancy (CA) student allegedly committed suicide by hanging herself on Sunday morning after she failed to clear one of her exams.
A suicide note in which she sought "forgiveness" from her mother was also recovered from her room in an East Delhi hostel.
According to police, the incident was reported from a private hostel run from house number 87 in Laxmi Nagar where the student, identified as Upma Singh, was found hanging from the ceiling fan. Singh had moved to Delhi from her home in Bihar to prepare for her CA exams.
"The girls used to live on rent on single-occupancy-per room basis. At 11.30 am, her friend — another CA student from Bangalore who lives in a room adjacent to Singh's — went there to borrow notes. She knocked a few times but when Singh did not respond, the friend peeped in through the window and saw her hanging by her dupatta," a senior official investigating the matter said.
Singh's friend immediately alerted their landlord, Gangadas, who rushed upstairs, broke open the door and alerted police.
Police suspect Singh had hanged herself either late Saturday night or in the wee hours of Sunday as her body had become very stiff when it was found. Her body has been preserved at Sabzi Mandi mortuary.
Singh's friends told police that she had failed an exam held on February 5 and was very disturbed since then. She used to keep to herself and often broke down.
"She was suffering from depression after failing the exam. In the suicide note, she apologised to her mother for failing and not being a good daughter," the officer said.
Police have alerted Singh's family in Bihar. Her local guardian and a relative D K Singh, who retired from the Indian Army and lives in Palam, was also informed.
"Upma's family belongs to Chhapra in Bihar. At 12 pm, I received a call from my home informing me about her suicide. She is from a very educated family and studied in Sarvodaya Vidyalya, where she was a scholarship student throughout. Her father used to be a government-school teacher but is paralysed now while her mother is a housewife," D K Singh told Newsline.
Inquest proceedings under section 176 of CrPC have been initiated in the incident by officials of Shakarpur police station, which is located in East Delhi.

18-Mar-2013 , 04:03:30 pmThis is very sad to know. One request to students, never consider exam faliures as life faliures. Life does not give a second chance. Exams do. Failing in one exam only should give you motivation to prove yourself and to the world that you can and will pass next time. Also, think about your parents and loved ones before taking drastic steps. Parents are also requested, please dont over pressurize

18-Mar-2013 , 10:47:58 pmCA institute should review its exam. policy. Entrance exam. should be as tough as you wish. But at other level result percentage should be near about 80%. My sympathy is with Upma Singh. In my opinion there are lots of CA student who think about such extreme step after passing entrance exam.

19-Mar-2013 , 02:15:54 pmIt is a very said news for me. One Request as asked by Mr. Jigar , never consider Exam Failure as Life failure. What is need to end life, if u cant clear an Exam. Be patient and dont take mental pressure. prepare yourself for next chance....
