Click to play videoNew Delhi: In yet another case of teen suicide in Mumbai, a watchman's son studying to become a doctor committed suicide in Mumbai on Wednesday.
The reason - he couldn't cope with English lectures in the college.
Eighteen-year-old Abhay Singh (name changed) was a small-town medicine student and hung himself at his home in Dindoshi in Mumbai.
He had come to the city from Jaunpur in Uttar Pradesh, for pursuing further studies and joined the Ismael Yusuf College in Jogeshwari, as a first year science student.
The boy was also working as a watchman with his father.
His father says the boy aspired to become a doctor but was gradually getting frustrated as he couldn't understand English well and therefore, the lectures were getting difficult.
He had even talked about quitting and going back to his hometown.
His father said, “When we came here from up he was having trouble understanding the lectures. But I told him not to worry. He can try again next year if he fails.”
This is the fifth teenage suicide in seven days in Mumbai.
Earlier, 13-year-old Gaurav Dubey (name changed), a resident of the posh Shivaji Park in central Mumbai and a student of the prestigious Bombay Scottish School took his life allegedly because of a dismal performance in an exam.
Another college student Priyanka Shastri (name changed), 18, hanged herself after her father refused to pay for a new dress.
