आईआईटी बॉम्बे के छात्र की मौत: मां-बाप का आरोप, 'जातिसूचक गालियां दी गईं और आत्महत्या के लिए उकसाया गया'

According to a report by BBC Hindi, the parents of a second-year student at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay have leveled serious allegations following the death of their son. The student, who was enrolled in the Department of Energy Science and Engineering, was found dead in his room on the evening of September 18.

The family has publicly alleged that the student was subjected to caste-based discrimination and harassment during his time at the institution. They claim that these actions created an environment that ultimately pushed him toward suicide. The allegations have sparked significant concern regarding the campus environment and the support systems available to students.

IIT Bombay authorities have acknowledged the incident and are cooperating with the ongoing police investigation. While the official cause of death and the circumstances surrounding the allegations remain subject to the findings of the authorities, the case has drawn attention to broader discussions about student welfare and inclusivity within premier educational institutions in India.
