Took extreme step due to failure in 1-subject
“Rohan felt ashamed seeing his father’s hard work on the farm to support the education of both him and his brother. On top of this, failure in some subjects in the previous semester kept him constantly stressed,” his friends said. They said that the stress might have driven him to take the extreme step of ending his life by hanging. Rohan’s dream of becoming a successful engineer through his education remained unfulfilled, leaving his friends deeply grieved and heartbroken.
