The disappointment and mental stress of not getting the desired success in the medical admission test finally took the life of a talented student.
A student named Niyamul Islam Nirob (19) committed suicide by climbing on a high-voltage power line pole.
On the evening of (December 15), Nirob climbed on a pole of a 33 thousand volt power line in the Balapara area, about one and a half kilometers from the Lalbagh area of ​​Rangpur city, and wrapped his body around it. His body was instantly burned by a severe electric shock. At one point, he fell down and died on the spot, the family claimed. Abu Bakar Siddique, the uncle of the deceased Nirob, confirmed this information.
Nirob is a resident of Berubari Union of Nageshwari Upazila of Kurigram. His father, Ershadul Haque, and mother, Nurunnahar Begum, were both teachers at a local secondary school.

Nirav was the elder of the two brothers. After passing his higher secondary examination, he was preparing for the medical admission test in Rangpur with the dream of becoming a doctor.

According to family sources, Nirav did not get the desired success after the results of the admission test were announced.

Since Sunday afternoon, his mobile phone contact with his family was lost. In the evening, news came that Nirav had committed suicide by jumping on an electricity pole. Later, after the legal process, his body was brought to his village home.
When Nirav’s father’s mobile number was contacted, his uncle Abu Bakar Siddique picked up the call.
He said, “We believe that Nirav has chosen this path out of intense pain at not getting the opportunity to study medicine. His parents are not in a state to talk now. There is mourning in the house.”
Ashraful Haque, the panel chairman of Berubari Union Parishad, said, “I went to the family’s house after receiving the news.
The incident is very tragic. The entire family is stunned by grief. Preparations for the funeral are underway.”

A dream, countless expectations, and a picture of the future built by the family—all of it was extinguished in an instant with the tragic departure of a young man.

This death raises the question once again—where are the pressure of entrance exams, fear of failure, and lack of emotional support pushing our students?
