KUNNIKKODE: A student who scored A + in all subjects in the Class X examination committed suicide for fear of failing the Plus One examination. The deceased has been identified as Saniga (17), daughter of Thalavoor native Sanal Kumar and Anitha. The Plus One model exam was about to start today. The annual exam was set to begin on June 13.

Anitha works in Mannar. So she comes home only once a week. Sanal Kumar, a carpenter, used to return home at around 8 pm. On Wednesday night, Anitha called her neighbour after Saniga did not pick up the phone despite calling her several times in the evening. The house was closed when the neighbour reached the house. Upon checking, the neighbour found that the door was locked from inside. Following this, the locals broke into the house only to find Saniga hanging in the bedroom. They also got a note saying she was committing suicide for fear of failing the exam.
