A civil services aspirant was found dead by suicide in her rented room in Delhi’s Old Rajendra Nagar. In her suicide note, she cited her struggles with depression and her failure to pass the UPSC exam.
Anjali, from Maharashtra, took the drastic step on July 21. In her note, she detailed her frustrations over not clearing the civil services exams despite multiple attempts and expressed her struggles with depression.
“I am sorry Mummy Papa. I am really fed up with life now, and there are just problems and issues with no peace. I need peace. I tried every possible way to get rid of this so-called depression, but I can’t overcome it,” she wrote.
She further expressed, “My only dream was UPSC in first attempt from then only. I am being so unstable all knows it.”
Anjali’s note also highlighted significant financial strain and urged the government to “reduce scams in government exams” and “generate employment.”
Additionally, she criticised the high costs of education and accommodation for the students, stating, “PG and hostel rents should also be decreased. These people are just looting money from the students. Not every student can afford it.”
According to Anjali’s friend Shweta, her landlord had recently increased her room rent from Rs 15,000 to Rs 18,000, India Today reported.
The Delhi Police is currently investigating the case and reviewing the circumstances that led to this incident.
