The Crime Branch is investigating the death of an IIT Bombay student named Sahil, scanning CCTV footage from the examination hall, campus grounds, and hostel area to reconstruct the sequence of events. The footage reportedly captures Sahil inside the examination hall, an alleged instance of chatting, claims regarding the use of ChatGPT, and him being escorted out with a professor before walking back towards his hostel. Meanwhile, Sahil's parents have spoken out, alleging persistent caste-based harassment and demanding the immediate arrest of the faculty members named in their First Information Report under the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes Prevention of Atrocities Act. Highlighting his All India Rank 614 in the entrance examination, the family disputed cheating claims and called for a comprehensive inquiry into the treatment of students from Scheduled Caste backgrounds.
