We’ll know the cause of death soon enough, but for now let us pray for the departed soul and wish her parents strength. 🙏🙏🙏 She was obviously a bright girl who worked hard on the CLAT, having made it to the merit list of a top 10 NLU.
Let’s also remember that a large number of deaths of law students have unfortunately taken place in recent years, for reasons ranging from car accidents to COVID to heart attacks to suicide. In fact, another very talented girl student (from Jindal) who was also the daughter of an IAS officer took her own life as she was suffering from exam-related depression, despite being a good student (see below).
Regardless of the cause of death, it’s a reminder to be kind to our fellow students. There is too much toxicity in NLUs.
