Kota (Rajasthan) May 14 (PTI) A student took his life after getting depressed over his CBSE Class 10 board exam results, the police said on Wednesday.
    The student, identified as Anikesh, hailing from Jehanabad, Bihar, was found hanging from a ceiling fan in his PG room here on Tuesday evening.
    Anikesh went into depression after the results were announced on Tuesday, in which he scored 61 per cent marks, way below his expectations.
