MPSC aspirant allegedly ends life in Pune, Abhijeet Dipke to visit family
MPSC students and aspirants have been staging massive protests, particularly in cities like Pune and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, due to widespread anger over alleged examination irregularities, paper leaks, and delays in the recruitment process.
A 28-year-old MPSC aspirant, Prathamesh Deshmukh, allegedly took his own life in Pune on Wednesday, September 9, 2026, according to police reports. This tragic incident has sparked political outrage, with the Congress party holding the government responsible for the young man's death. Congress president Harshawardhan Sapkal called for the immediate resignation of MPSC chairperson and secretary, Bhimanwar.
Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, expressed concern over the death and scheduled a visit to Dharashiv, the deceased's hometown, to meet his family on Thursday. He questioned the government's actions, citing paper leaks, exam delays, and mental stress as factors that have shattered the aspirants' dreams and caused immense duress.
Deshmukh reportedly had a debt of around ₹2.5 lakh, and his note listed around 18 individuals who owed him money, but had not been repaid. The MPSC students and aspirants have been staging massive protests in cities like Pune and Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, demanding the removal of MPSC chairperson and a thorough investigation into past recruitment exams.
