According to police, the boy's family suspects no foul play, attributing the extreme step entirely to academic distress.
Thane: Tragically, a 17-year-old student, with an impressive 95.7% score in his Class 12 science exams, took his own life after being denied admission to his desired institute. The victim, who lived in an upscale housing complex on Ghodbunder Road, sent a distressing message to his family via WhatsApp expressing his intention to end his life.
Police revealed that the teenager jumped from the 22nd-floor refuge area of a residential building on Friday evening (September 4) before anyone could stop him.

His family, residing in the same upscale housing complex, immediately alerted the Kasarvadavali Police Station upon discovering his switched-off phone and severely injured body near his apartment. Authorities found no evidence of foul play and concluded it as an accidental death, attributing it to academic pressures.
