A 17-year-old female medical aspirant from Atapadi in Maharashtra's Sangali district lost her life after her father, who is also headmaster of a local school, beat her brutally for scoring poor marks in the National Eligibility Test (NEET) practice paper exams.
Her mother filed a complaint against her husband, Dondiba Bhosale, at Nelkaranji village in Atpadi police station. The police subsequently arrested the 45-year-old accused.
According to the police, the girl was a 12th-standard student who was preparing for NEET. She dreamed of becoming a doctor after scoring 92.6 percent in her 10th-grade board exam. However, the girl performed poorly in the mock tests last Friday. Her father got furious and thrashed her.
