Jaipur: A 21-year-old AIIMS Jodhpur student, identified as Pabulal Jangir, allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself from the railing of his hostel room’s balcony, on the college premises on Saturday night. The student’s decision to end his life shocked many as he had cleared the medical entrance exam against all odds.
Pabulal, a native of nondescript Chokhala village in Barmer district’s Bayatu tehsil, had become an inspiration for medical aspirants across the country. The son of daily wage agricultural labourers, Pabulal, secured rank 116 in OBC category of AIIMS MBBS 2016. When he was preparing for medical entrance exam, his house had no electricity, so he studied under a lantern hanging from a tree at the village square. The turning point in his life came when his uncle took the responsibility of his education after Class X and Pabulal shifted to Barmer. Pabulal lived in Kota for two years and overcame all odds to bag a position in the AIIMS exam.
He was a second year student and among the toppers in the college.
