Summary

Ravindra Wakode, father of IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode who allegedly died by suicide, was denied permission to continue his protest at Azad Maidan and plans to visit the institute's Powai campus instead. The Wakode family alleges caste-based discrimination at the institute and has called for the arrest of Professor Suryanarayana Doolla and IIT-B director Shireesh Kedare. An FIR has been registered against Professor Doolla for alleged abetment to suicide. The Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating, having questioned Professor Doolla for approximately 10 hours and recorded statements from around 40 people. IIT Bombay students have launched a hunger strike demanding accountability from the institute administration. Electronic devices belonging to Sahil have been sent for forensic examination, and the Crime Branch is expected to summon the IIT Bombay Director.
