Introduction

Police in Delhi are looking into the death of a 20-year-old woman. She wanted to be a doctor. She died after a big medical test was cancelled.

Main Body

The woman died on Thursday in Azadpur. Her family tried to bury her without telling the police. The family said they did not know the law. Now, the body is at a hospital for a medical check. The woman studied hard for a long time. She used online classes to learn. She almost passed the test before. Her family says she was very sad because the government cancelled her exam on May 12. The government says the test was not fair. They want students to take the test again on June 21. The woman did not leave a note. But her brother and sister said she was very upset about the news.

Conclusion

The police are still working on the case. They are waiting for the hospital report to find the cause of death.
