    A second-year student at IIT Bombay died by suicide, prompting protests from fellow students who demanded accountability and transparency from the administration. The student, Sahil Wakode, was found dead in his hostel room after allegedly using a mobile phone during an exam and uploading the question paper to ChatGPT. Students accused the administration of failing to address mental health issues and harassment, citing a pattern of suicides on campus. They presented an 18-point charter demanding action, including the suspension of a professor accused of harassment, mental health support, and compensation for affected families.
