Reportedly, the girl was preparing for the medical entrance test for the past few years. No suicide note was found at the spot, and the exact reason behind the woman taking the extreme step is yet to be ascertained.

A PCR call was received at the Adarsh Nagar police station on Thursday informing that a woman's body was brought to the Kewal Park Shamshan Ghat for cremation without police intimation.

"The victim was a NEET aspirant. We are probing as to why she took the extreme step. No suicide note has been found during the investigation," the officer said.

A police team rushed to the crematorium and found that the deceased was a resident of Lal Bagh in Azadpur, the officer said.

The deceased's family members later took the body to a crematorium without informing police, a senior officer said. The family members later claimed that they were unaware of the legal formalities in such cases and took the body to the crematorium to perform the last rites without informing the authorities, the officer said.

Police have shifted the body to the mortuary of the Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital for post-mortem, he added. A forensic team has visited the woman's residence to inspect the scene and collect evidence, the officer said.

On Tuesday, the National Testing Agency (NTA) cancelled the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (Undergraduate), or NEET, held on May 3 for medical admissions amid allegations of paper leak. A re-examination has been scheduled for June 21.

After the news of exam cancellation, a 17-year-old student allegedly died by suicide in Nesai, Curtorim, in Goa. He was reportedly distressed by the prospect of appearing for the competitive exam again. The teenager, a student at a Higher Secondary School in the Margao area, was found hanging at his residence on Tuesday.

The local police recovered a suicide note at the scene. In the note, the student reportedly expressed his deep frustration, stating that he did not wish to sit for any more competitive exams.
