IIT Bombay Faculty Forum supports professor in student death case

The record

Written from the 2 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.

The death of IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode has put one of the institute's senior professors, Suryanarayana Dulla, under police scrutiny, with an FIR filed against him in connection with the case.
The IIT Bombay Faculty Forum has publicly come to Dulla's defense, signaling that faculty members believe the police action against him is disproportionate or unwarranted.
Meanwhile, protests on campus related to the student's death have prompted the institute itself to strip Dulla of his position as Dean, a move that removes him from a senior administrative role while the legal process continues.
This creates a split picture: the institution has taken a formal step distancing itself from him, while his colleagues are pushing back against what they see as unfair targeting.
For students and staff, the episode raises questions about accountability for student welfare and how much pressure campus protests can exert on institutional decisions.
The FIR means Dulla now faces a police investigation, though what specific allegations it contains and whether charges will proceed is not detailed in the available reporting.
The immediate thing to watch is whether the institute takes further action against Dulla, whether protests continue or escalate, and what the police investigation reveals about the circumstances of Wakode's death.
