'No one becomes IAS just like that': Madhya Pradesh woman commits suicide, leaves 20-page note

| @indiablooms | May 27, 2025, at 11:09 pm

An IAS aspirant, Asha Uikey, who lived in Madhya Pradesh's Indore, has committed suicide after leaving a note stating: 'No one becomes an IAS just like that, wake up from sleep now you have to read'.

Asha lived in rented accommodation in the Hiranagar police station area of Indore.

She was preparing for the UPSC exam. But after repeated failures, she committed suicide.

The UPSC aspirant died days before her mother was expected to come and meet her. Her mother reportedly came to know about the challenges her daughter was facing.

The family had gotten in touch with her landlord when their phone calls went unanswered.

The 25-year-old had been under stress for several days.

The police, investigating her death, found an exercise book and motivational posters on the wall of her room.

She was writing motivational quotes to keep her spirits up, the police said.

In the exercise book, she had filled 20 pages apologizing to her parents and other family members, and writing motivational quotes.

Asha wrote that she wanted to be someone and achieve whatever she wanted, but soon, according to the police.

There was a poster that read, "Wake up from sleep". Even the walls of her room were filled with motivational quotes.
