A civil services aspirant from Old Rajinder Nagar, New Delhi, died by suicide, reportedly struggling with depression and the stress of the examination process, police said on Saturday. In her note, she appealed to the government to “reduce corruption in government exams” and “increase job opportunities,” and voiced worries about escalating housing rents.

In her suicide note, Anjali, the student, described her struggle with “life’s problems” and a “lack of peace.” She took her own life on July 21, just days before three UPSC candidates perished in a flooding incident at Rau’s Study Circle, a coaching center in the Old Rajinder Nagar area.
