Raj Kumar, Investigating officer said:

"Her parents told us she did not score less marks, but could not come 1st as she had expected. This had made her upset.”

Police told HT that the incident occurred on Sunday morning when the girl's family had gone to a nearby village. Anjali then locked herself in the bathroom and shot herself with her father's gun.

Her father said Anjali had reportedly called him and asked him to immediately return home. But when Vedpal Singh reached home, he found his daughter dead. There was a  gunshot wound on her head.

She was declared brought dead when rushed to the hospital. Later, after the postmortem, the body was handed over to the family. Her father told the police that although Anjali was upset over her result, she was determined to improve it in the next class.

Anjali was the eldest of three siblings, NDTV reported.

Unfortunately, Anjali did not wait for the second chance and gave up her life.
