RAJKOT: A 16-year-old boy hanged himself in his house in Karna village of Lalpur taluka of Jamnagar on Sunday night.
He was taken to hospital in Jamnagar where he died on Monday.
The deceased Yash Rathod had recently cleared Class XII (science) exam and was preparing for Gujarat Common Entrance Test (GUJCET).
“He was under stress that he won’t be able to perform well in GUJCET and therefore he took this extreme step. This is what Rathod’s family member told us,” said a police official.
