A day after his 19-year-old son ended his life over failure in the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET), a 48-year-old man from Chennai was found dead. Unable to cope with the son’s loss, the father ended his life, police said.
According to police sources, P. Selvasekar, a resident at Kurinji Nagar in Chromepet, who ran a photo studio, and his son Jegadeshwaran, 19, lived along as he was estranged from his wife. Jegadeshwaran had completed Class XII from a CBSE school in Pallavaram last year. He appeared twice for NEET but failed to get the required marks for medical admission under the government quota.
