IIT Bombay student begin hunger strike demanding accountability over student Sahil Wakode’s death
Students at IIT Bombay have started a hunger strike after the death of second‑year student Sahil Wakode. They presented an 18‑point charter calling for accountability, including the resignation of the institute’s director. The action follows the denial of permission for Wakode’s parents to hold weekend protests. The strike seeks institutional reforms and greater transparency.
