Family Raises Questions Over IIT Bombay Student Sahil’s Death; Demands CBI Probe

Desk: Following the death of IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode, questions and outrage are mounting among his family in Yavatmal and students in Mumbai. Sahil’s grandmother, Shyamlata Tayde, has questioned the role of the college administration and demanded a CBI inquiry into the entire matter. Meanwhile, IIT Bombay has suspended Professor Suryanarayana Doolla from his deanship, although the Faculty Forum has come out in his support, maintaining that he acted in accordance with the institute’s regulations. Despite the institute’s actions and apology, students and the family continue to question what exactly transpired before Sahil’s death and how an impartial investigation into the matter will be conducted.
