IIT Bombay suicide case: no evidence of caste discrimination against student, rules internal panel

IIT Bombay's inquiry committee has ruled out 'caste-based discrimination' in its student Darshan Solanki's death, The Indian Express has reported.

The 12-member commission formed to probe the alleged suicide has concluded that Solanki took the extreme step due to his 'deteriorating academic performance'.

The committee headed by Professor Nand Kishore of the Chemistry department submitted its interim report on March 2 and a copy has also been shared with the Union government.

Solanki, a first-year chemical engineering student from Ahmedabad, allegedly died by suicide on February 12, a day after his semester exams ended.

Solanki’s family alleged he was subjected to caste-based discrimination on campus which drove him to suicide.
