An 18-year-old coaching student committed suicide by hanging herself in her hostel room in Kota city, police said on Monday.

The student, Kratika Jadon, who hails from Firozabad district in Uttar Pradesh, had arrived Kota to prepare for the IIT-JEE about three months ago.

The owner of a hostel in Rajeev Gandhi Nagar area of Kota city on Sunday night informed police that a student has hanged herself from the ceiling fan of her room, following which a police team reached the place and took the body in its custody, said Anokhe Singh, an assistant sub-inspector of the Jawahar Nagar police station.

On being informed, the student’s parents arrived in Kota on Sunday morning.

The parents were handed over the body after autopsy, said Singh.

The assistant sub-inspector said that no suicide note was found in the incident. However, the student’s family members have accused a boy of Firozabad district for blackmailing the girl over phone.

The student’s uncle, Ashwini Kumar Singh, told police that a boy, Nishant Yadav, who studied with the girl in a Firozabad school, was allegedly blackmailing her over phone as he had some “objectionable” videos of the student and she was in depression due to this and committed suicide, he said.
