A UPSC aspirant from Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Asha Uikey, died by suicide after struggling with repeated setbacks in her exam preparation. Her final written words were a haunting reminder of her dedication and pain: "No one becomes an IAS just like that, wake up from sleep now you have to read."

Asha, 25, had been living in rented accommodation in the Hiranagar police station area while preparing for the UPSC exams. Despite her determination, the pressure and continuous failures took a toll on her mental health.

Days before her mother was scheduled to visit after learning about her daughter's emotional struggles, Asha ended her life, according to an NDTV report.

When Asha stopped responding to phone calls, her worried family contacted her landlord, leading to the tragic discovery.
