Dehradun topper dies by suicide while preparing for NEET
Riya Kumari Thapa, 23, who was preparing for NEET re-exam, allegedly died by suicide in Dehradun. The re-exam is being held after the earlier exam was cancelled due to a paper leak.
Thapa was a Class 12 topper, scoring 96.7%. "No such factor has come to light so far as to why she died by suicide," police said.
