IIT Bombay professor under fire over student’s suicide sent on leave

IIT Bombay professor Suryanarayana Doolla has been placed on leave following the death of 22-year-old BTech student Sahil Wakode. The Mumbai Crime Branch is investigating the circumstances surrounding the student's death and has summoned Doolla for questioning. Additionally, a 10-member panel has been formed to conduct an internal inquiry into the case.

Sahil's parents have expressed their demand for justice, rejecting allegations that he cheated during the JEE Advanced examination. The family has also alleged that Sahil faced torture and casteist slurs.
