IIT Bombay Caste Row: Prof Hounded After Chorus For Arrest | SC/ST Act: Justice Or Misuse?

In this episode of India Upfront, anchor Pranesh Roy discusses the controversy surrounding the death of IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode and the FIR registered against Professor Suryanarayana Doolla under the SC/ST Act and provisions related to abetment of suicide. Sahil’s family has alleged caste-based harassment and demanded action against those named in their complaint, while IIT Bombay has said no such complaint was submitted by the student to the institute’s SC-ST cell or administration. The episode examines the competing claims, the debate over the alleged misuse of the SC/ST Act and demands for a thorough investigation. Faculty bodies have backed Professor Doolla and called for due process, while the student’s family continues to seek accountability. With the investigation underway, the case raises wider questions about equality, caste discrimination, legal safeguards and the balance between protecting vulnerable communities and ensuring due process. #iitbombay #iitbombaycase #sahilwakode #scstact #scstactmisuse #castediscrimination #casteharassment #iitbombaystudent #suryanarayanadooll #indiaupfront #timesnow #englishnews Times Now - Times Now News channel examines news with in-depth analysis.
