According to the deceased’s family, the young man, who had recently taken a police recruitment exam, was found hanging in his home
A 24-year-old man in Uttar Pradesh died by suicide, reportedly due to unemployment, police said on Friday.
“The student blamed no one for his death. He died by suicide because he was not getting a job,” the police said.
According to the deceased’s family, the young man, who had recently taken a police recruitment exam, was found hanging in his home, NDTV reported.
In his suicide note, Brijesh Pal from UP’s Kannauj wrote that he had burned all his education certificates. “What is the use of degrees when one cannot secure employment? I spent half of my life studying only,” Pal wrote.
Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav blamed the BJP government for the suicide, stating that finding a job under the Narendra Modi-led regime is a “dream.”
“BJP, which deploys every trick to come into power, turns away in the name of providing jobs. It is a very sad news that upset with the tragedy of joblessness, a young man from Kannauj, Brajesh Pal, committed suicide by hanging himself,” the Samajwadi Party leader said in a post on X.
Thousands of students have been protesting at the headquarters of the Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission (UPPSC) for the past few days, demanding the re-conduct of the review officer/assistant review officer (RO/ARO) recruitment preliminary exam held on February 11.
Aspirants preparing for recruitment exams alleged a paper leak, even as a heavy police force, along with RAF personnel, has been deployed outside the UPPSC HQ premises.
