The heartbreaking death of second-year student Sahil Wakode has ignited outrage and demands for accountability at IIT Bombay. As the investigation unfolds, a viral CCTV clip from the examination hall has raised more questions than answers about the circumstances leading to Wakode's death.

In response to the growing unrest, the institute has deferred mid-semester exams, but many are questioning whether this is enough. What were the conditions in the examination hall? Why did it take a tragedy for the administration to take action?

The parents of Sahil Wakode have begun a hunger strike at Azad Maidan, calling for transparency and responsibility from the institution. They are seeking answers not only for their son but for the safety of all students. According to The Hindu, this incident has spotlighted the urgent need for reforms in student welfare and mental health support within prestigious institutions like IIT Bombay.
