AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal visited the family of a 17-year-old who allegedly ended his life in South Goa, highlighting the academic pressure linked to NEET exams. The youth's suicide note cited academic stress as a reason, prompting Kejriwal's critique of the BJP's handling of exams and call for student protests against paper leaks.

Kejriwal also pointed to the recurring cancellation of the NEET exam and alleged paper leaks under the BJP government. He expressed skepticism over the effectiveness of a CBI investigation, suggesting that the probe would not yield significant results, as he believes the CBI reports to the ruling BJP government.

The local police, while probing the incident, noted that the youth struggled to balance academics with his passion for hockey, exacerbating his academic stress over competitive exams. The case underscores larger systemic issues, prompting calls for reform and accountability.
