Nagpur: A tragic incident near Ramtek has left an entire locality grieving after a 16-year-old girl allegedly died by suicide days after receiving her Class 10 board examination result. The deceased, identified as Kaveri Kamalakar Borse, was a resident of Shivnagar in Sheetalwadi and a student of Providence School, Mansar.
According to police and family sources, Kaveri had secured 75 percent marks in the recently declared SSC board examinations. Though considered a bright student, she was reportedly upset and mentally disturbed over her performance.

Police said the incident came to light on Tuesday morning when the family’s milk vendor repeatedly knocked on the door but received no response. Suspecting something was wrong, neighbours were alerted. After considerable effort, the bathroom door was opened, where Kaveri was found hanging with the help of a dupatta.
She was immediately brought down, but by then she had already died, sources said.
Kaveri’s father serves in the Indian Army, while her mother is employed in the Tehsil Agriculture Department. Both had left for work in the morning, leaving her alone at home at the time of the incident.
Family members stated that the Borse family had returned to Ramtek just four days ago after visiting their native village in Shirpur of Dhule district. Kaveri’s two elder sisters had remained in the village, while she had returned with her parents. The family had no indication that such a heartbreaking tragedy would unfold within days of their return.
The incident triggered grief across the neighbourhood and among students and teachers connected to the school. Residents described Kaveri as a quiet and sincere student with a bright future ahead of her.
Officials from the Ramtek Police rushed to the spot after receiving information about the incident. After completing the panchnama, the body was sent to the sub-district hospital for post-mortem examination. An accidental death case has been registered, and further investigation is underway.
Kaveri’s death has once again highlighted growing concerns over academic pressure and the mental stress faced by students amid intense competition and expectations surrounding examination results.
