<p>Politics over National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) in Tamil Nadu took an ugly turn on Sunday with an AIADMK minister posting a “doctored” video featuring a voice similar to that of S Anitha, a medical aspirant who died by suicide after she failed to make it despite scoring distinction in plus two exams, asking students to “vote against” DMK.</p>.<p>As the video containing file shots of Anitha talking to media with a voice similar to that of hers went viral and the girl's family knocked at the doors of a police station, Tamil Development Minister 'MaFoi' K Pandiarajan deleted the tweet and feigned ignorance. Pandiarajan is contesting April 6 elections from Avadi near Chennai.</p>.<p>“I do not know how the video made it to my timeline. I did not upload the video. I am complaining to the police to find out who did this,” he said in a video after removing his tweet.</p>.<p>Anitha, then 17, died by suicide in September 2017 after she failed to make it to a medical college despite scoring 1176 out of 1200 in plus-two exams. She could not clear NEET. More than 12 students died by suicide in the past three years due to NEET making it a political issue.</p>.<p>S Manirathnam, brother of Anitha, also lodged a complaint with the Chief Electoral Officer seeking Pandiarajan's disqualification from the election process.</p>
