The Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay removes a professor from his administrative role due to caste-based discrimination allegations. A Delhi court reconsiders a petition against Congress leader Sonia Gandhi for alleged use of forged documents.
In Madhya Pradesh news and Politics, the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-Bombay) has removed a professor from his administrative position as dean after he was accused of subjecting a student to caste-based discrimination. The student, 20-year-old Sahil Wakode, died by suicide on Friday. Wakode’s family has alleged that the professor, Suryanarayan Doolla, subjected him to caste-based discrimination for three months, allegedly on the instructions of IIT-Bombay Director Shireesh B Kedare.
The IIT-Bombay administration has stated that Doolla will continue as a member of the teaching faculty and has only been removed from his administrative position. Furthermore, IIT-Bombay has denied reports that Kedare had resigned after accepting the students’ demands.
In a separate development in World news, a Delhi court set aside a magisterial court order that had dismissed a petition seeking a first information report against Congress leader Sonia Gandhi for allegedly using forged documents to get her name included in the voter rolls of 1980, three years before she obtained Indian citizenship. The order, dated September 11, 2025, did not provide a reason for why the complaint was dismissed entirely, according to the court.
