"Why Was Sahil Asked To Leave?" IIT Bombay Professor Questioned In Student Suicide
Investigators questioned the Professor about the alleged confrontation after Sahil was reportedly found using a phone during an examination, the conversation between the two, and any previous interaction
Sahil Wakode, a 22-year-old student at IIT Bombay, was found hanging in his hostel room on September 18. His parents alleged that Professor Suryanarayana Doolla subjected Sahil to caste-based abuse, prompting the Powai Police to register an FIR against the professor.
The Mumbai Crime Branch has been investigating Sahil's death and has recorded the statements of around 45 people, including Sahil's parents, fellow students, hostel staff, and Professor Doolla. According to NDTV, Professor Doolla was questioned about an alleged confrontation with Sahil after he was reportedly found using a phone during an examination.
As part of the probe, the Crime Branch has sent Sahil's electronic devices, including two mobile phones, a laptop, and a tablet, to the Forensic Science Laboratory to retrieve data that could provide important clues about the events preceding his death.
