Cheating from ChatGPT, student’s death, then protests: What sparked unrest at IIT-Bombay
A second-year B.Tech student at IIT Bombay allegedly used a mobile phone during an examination on Friday. By the time the incident was discovered, the student had also uploaded the question paper on ChatGPT to seek answers. Despite no disciplinary action being taken, his death occurred later that evening. His parents, blaming the institute administration, claimed the tragedy was a case of caste discrimination.
The protest escalated over the weekend, with students questioning the handling of the incident and calling for reforms in student welfare.
