IIT Bombay Professor At Centre Of Student Suicide Row Sent On Leave

The record

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

A student at IIT Bombay died by suicide after allegedly being caught using AI during an exam, and the professor involved has faced escalating institutional consequences.
The professor was first placed on leave; subsequent reporting says he has also been removed from his administrative post.
Coverage now cites allegations of abetment to suicide and caste discrimination connected to the death — claims that, if formally pursued, could turn a campus disciplinary matter into a legal one.
The reporting so far is neutral and thin: neither account details the exam, the timeline, or the evidentiary basis of the allegations, and the professor's side is not represented.
The case lands amid broader public concern over student mental health and academic pressure at India's elite institutes, and over how institutions should handle AI use in assessments.
What happens next depends on whether the abetment and caste discrimination allegations trigger police or statutory inquiries.
