In a shocking and desperate move that's left many people stunned, a young man from Jaunpur district in Uttar Pradesh, India, went to extreme lengths to chase his dream of becoming a doctor. The 24-year-old NEET aspirant allegedly chopped off part of his own foot using a grinder machine, all in a bid to qualify for the disability quota and snag an MBBS seat.
According to police investigations, the man – a pharmacy graduate who had failed NEET twice before – deliberately injured himself at home. He even used anaesthesia to dull the pain during the act. At first, he told cops that unknown attackers had assaulted him and caused the injury. But sharp detective work uncovered the truth: it was self-inflicted.
The goal? To get a disability certificate that would give him an edge in the highly competitive NEET admissions under the Persons with Disabilities (PwD) category. In India, that quota can make all the difference for thousands of students fighting for limited medical college seats.
Right now, the young man is receiving treatment in hospital while police continue probing the case. No formal charges have been confirmed yet, but the incident has sparked massive debate online about the insane pressure on students, mental health struggles, and the dark side of India's cut-throat education system.
This story is a real wake-up call – when the dream of wearing that white coat becomes this dangerous, something has gone terribly wrong. What do you think drives someone to such extremes? Pressure from family? Fear of failure? Or just the brutal competition? Share your thoughts!
