PoliticsIIT-B Professor Sent on Leave Amid Caste Discrimination Probe
Professor Suryanarayana Doola of IIT-B was sent on leave as the board of governors formed a 10-member panel to investigate the suicide of second-year B.Tech student Sahil Wakode. The incident sparked protests across IIT campuses demanding a fair probe into caste discrimination against Dalit and tribal students. Wakode's father threatened a hunger strike if officials involved are not arrested. Faculty bodies from IIT Kanpur, Kharagpur, Guwahati, Roorkee, and Hyderabad supported the call for impartial investigation and reforms.
