Ends life thinking she failed in exams

PUNE: Unable to trace her examination number in the list of successful candidates put on the internet by the Maharashtra SSC Board, a frustrated 15-year-old 10th standard student ended her life by setting herself ablaze on Thursday.

A couple of hours later her school distributed mark-sheets to successful students in which her name figured with 61 percent of marks.

A mason’s daughter, Rani Kadam went to a cyber cafe along with her friends to know the result on the internet, as the schools were to declare it at 3 p.m., said the police.

Even as her classmates traced their numbers in the list of passed candidates, an anxious Rani could not find her name despite repeated searching. — PTI
