CCTV Footage Shows IIT Bombay Student With Phone Before Tragic Death
CCTV footage shows IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode with a phone during a mid-semester exam before his tragic death. Allegations, an SC/ST Act FIR and Crime Branch investigation remain under scrutiny.
The footage reportedly shows Wakode seated in the front row and interacting with Professor Suryanarayan Doolla during the exam. According to the account provided, Wakode surrendered the phone to the professor, who then escorted him out of the examination hall.
The development has emerged amid allegations by Wakode’s family that he faced months of caste-based harassment by the professor. The allegations have led to protests, an FIR under the SC/ST Act and charges of abetment to suicide. The institute, however, has noted that no prior complaints had been filed.
The CCTV footage of Prof Doolla catching Sahil Wakode with a mobile phone in exam hall is out.
