IIT Bombay row: Faculty, students back Professor Doolla as Crime Branch examines CCTV footage

Sahil Wakode’s death at IIT Bombay has triggered protests, an exam controversy, allegations of caste-based harassment and a police investigation. Professor Suryanarayana Doolla, who was the invigilator during the exam, has been named in an FIR based on the family’s complaint. IIT Bombay has since relieved him as Dean of Administrative Affairs, while its Faculty Forum has backed him. Students have submitted an 18-point charter seeking an independent probe and wider institutional reforms. Here’s what the family, students, faculty and institute have said so far and what the investigation is examining.
