[00:00:17] at IIT Bombay, one of the country's largest institutions.
[00:00:30] an appeal has been made by IIT. The investigation into the death of Sahil
[00:00:33] Wakode, a student of Bombay, will now be conducted by the Crime Branch.
[00:00:37] This case has been handed over to the Crime Branch. Here, Sahil's father has made serious allegations,
[00:00:41] and based on his complaint, a case has been registered against Sahil's teacher,
[00:00:45] Suryanarayan Dullah. Sahil's father alleged in his
[00:00:48] statement that the teacher had allegedly made caste-indicator comments against his son.
[00:00:52] He also alleged that Sahil was threatened
[00:00:56] with being framed in a false case. A legal complaint has been filed by the father
[00:01:00] against the concerned teacher and his senior officers, and in addition,
[00:01:04] a complaint has also been filed against other IIT officials.
[00:01:07] The family here says that for the past three
[00:01:11] months, Sahil was allegedly facing caste-indicator comments,
[00:01:16] to suspend him for a year. and now the Crime Branch will investigate
[00:01:18] this entire matter and also verify the allegations.
[00:01:20] So the upcoming facts
[00:01:24] during the investigation will clarify what circumstances
[00:01:28] Sahil was facing before his death and how much truth
[00:01:32] there is in these allegations. Aditi,
[00:01:34] for more
[00:01:39] information on this entire matter, our colleague Sujata Dwivedi
[00:01:42] has joined us. Sujata,
[00:01:45] Games medal yet. Before going to Japan once again, the suicide of a student has raised many questions here.
[00:01:48] What details are emerging at this moment, because his friends must have said something here.
[00:01:52] What is the hidden truth behind this
[00:01:56] that has not yet come to light? Yes, Aditi, look, regarding this entire matter,
[00:02:02] the Election Commission has issued a notice currently there is a lot of anger among the students.
[00:02:04] They say that this is not the first such incident. In the last seven months,
[00:02:08] this is the fourth death in which a student
[00:02:12] is subjected to peer pressure or
[00:02:16] ragging, or some such comment is made on him
[00:02:19] due to which he takes his own life.
[00:02:23] In Sahil Bakode's case, on one hand, IIT says that they
[00:02:27] gave Sahil complete information and assured him
[00:02:31] that no disciplinary action
[00:02:33] is caught allegedly copying, would be taken against him. But on the other hand,
[00:02:37] the students who had gone to file their FIR complaint yesterday,
[00:02:40] they said that Suryanarayan Dulla, who is the Dean of
[00:02:44] Administrative Affairs at IIT Bombay,
[00:02:48] what exactly happened with Sahil when he took Sahil out of the classroom,
[00:02:51] he first said something to him. And those students say
[00:02:55] that what he said to him led Sahil to take this extreme
[00:02:58] step. IIT is not revealing the complete picture.
[00:03:02] So, currently, the investigation has been started.
[00:03:05] In the Sahil Bakode death case, the Crime Branch will now investigate this entire matter.
[00:03:09] And along with Suryanarayan Dulla, the director,
[00:03:12] Dr. Sharish, is also expected
[00:03:16] to face action. The students say
[00:03:19] that there were many remarks made against Sahil,
[00:03:22] whether about his caste or about his other
[00:03:26] characteristics, which led to this entire incident.
[00:03:30] So, they are demanding that
[00:03:34] on one hand, Sahil gets justice, and on the other hand,
[00:03:38] action should be taken in this entire matter
[00:03:42] as soon as possible. Aditi, thank you very much, Sujata, please keep an eye on this. We will come back to you.
[00:03:45] So, this whole matter has raised many questions. IIT Bombay, the country's most
[00:03:50] such a Chief Minister who is constantly prestigious engineering institute, a student commits suicide there.
[00:03:53] The allegations are that the student was copying during the exam
[00:03:56] with ChatGPT, but was caught, and after that,
[00:04:00] he committed suicide in his hostel. After this incident,
[00:04:04] the students' anger has erupted in the IIT Mumbai campus. They are protesting,
[00:04:08] demanding strict action against the culprits. is being taken.
[00:04:10] IIT
[00:04:16] Bombay,
[00:04:19] one of the country's most prestigious institutions,
[00:04:22] but today, not studies, but the echo of anger is heard
[00:04:26] here. I am very sad.
[00:04:50] answers for her lost son.
[00:05:00] It is shocking. A notice has been sent to former It is sad, whatever
[00:05:03] has happened. It feels like he is one of us, he was one of us,
[00:05:07] and we feel like someone
[00:05:11] has been left behind. Sahil Ravindra Wakode, 22
[00:05:14] years old, was a resident of Yavatmal district in Maharashtra.
[00:05:18] He was a B.Tech second-year student in the Energy Science
[00:05:22] and Engineering department. His family had sent him
[00:05:25] with great aspirations to study
[00:05:29] But on Friday evening, news came from his hostel room number
[00:05:33] four that shook both the family
[00:05:37] and the campus. Sahil committed suicide
[00:05:40] in his room.
[00:05:42] He was accused of using his mobile phone during the exam.
[00:05:46] He was accused of uploading the question paper to ChatGPT
[00:05:50] and trying to find answers. Later that day,
[00:05:54] when he returned to the hostel, he was found lifeless in his room
[00:05:57] at 7 pm. Since then,
[00:06:00] IIT Bombay, which is usually calm in Mumbai's Powai,
[00:06:04] is seething with student anger.
[00:06:06] We are present at the IIT campus
[00:06:10] and you can see that the students are protesting by sitting down here.
[00:06:14] And they say that Sahil Wakode,
[00:06:17] who was a second-year engineering student,
[00:06:21] was caught using ChatGPT in the exam, after which
[00:06:25] the college threatened
[00:06:28] Due to this, Sahil, in fear,
[00:06:31] thought that his engineering, which was supposed to be completed in 4 years,
[00:06:35] would now take 5 years. And in this fear,
[00:06:39] he took his own life. This is not the first time. There have been four
[00:06:43] incidents this year, and two in two months. So we don't know
[00:06:46] why this is happening, what the reason is. We just want a report
[00:06:50] that we will investigate, we will be
[00:06:54] answerable to that. Transparency will be taken by us, and
[00:06:57] nothing like this will happen again. However, IIT
[00:07:01] Bombay is also giving explanations after the student's death. According to the institute,
[00:07:04] Sahil was caught using a mobile phone during the exam.
[00:07:07] The student allegedly uploaded the question to ChatGPT
[00:07:11] and tried to find answers.
[00:07:15] But no disciplinary action was taken
[00:07:18] against him. The instructor and department head spoke to him,
[00:07:22] counselled him, and assured him that the incident would not
[00:07:25] negatively affect his academic future. He was sent to the hostel
[00:07:29] after counselling, but a few hours later,
[00:07:32] his body was found in the room.
[00:07:35] But the other side of the story is emerging with the allegations of the students.
[00:07:39] Many students protesting in the campus claim that according to IIT rules,
[00:07:43] if a student
[00:07:46] they are given a new answer sheet and allowed to continue the exam.
[00:07:50] The students allege that Sahil was taken out of the exam
[00:07:53] and could not complete the entire paper. The students demand
[00:07:57] that an investigation be conducted into
[00:08:01] during and after the exam. The students
[00:08:04] allege that when Sahil was being taken out during the exam,
[00:08:08] Suryanarayan Dulla had a conversation with him. These figures are not just numbers,
[00:08:12] थी.
[00:09:12] they point to the pressure, stress, and mental
[00:09:16] struggle that are often discussed only after an incident.
[00:09:20] The debate about mental health in the country's major
[00:09:23] educational institutions is not new, but after every new death,
[00:09:27] this debate becomes even more intense.
[00:09:29] Sahil Wakode
[00:09:32] will not come back now, but his death has left
[00:09:36] many questions. Was the correct procedure
[00:09:39] followed during the examination? Was there any such pressure
[00:09:43] on the student that could have been understood in time?
[00:09:47] Or is the dam of patience breaking within the students?
[00:09:50] There are many other questions that
[00:09:54] should be answered. But in the meantime,
[00:09:57] the demand for justice is rising in the Powai campus of IIT Bombay, and a mother is demanding
[00:10:03] From Mumbai, with cameraman Devendra Dayalkar, Sujata
[00:10:06] Dwivedi for NDTV India.
[00:10:09] Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal
[00:10:12] by the EC. The Election Commission has sent this notice
[00:10:16] to Kejriwal and his family from the EC. This notice has been issued to Kejriwal
[00:10:20] under the SIR process. In the unmapped category,
[00:10:23] after this incident,
[00:10:52] the Aam Aadmi Party has questioned the process of the Election Commission. Apart from Arvind Kejriwal, his wife Sunita
[00:10:56] Kejriwal, father Govindram Kejriwal, mother Geeta Devi, son Pulkit
[00:10:59] Kejriwal are included. All of them are among those 110 voters
[00:11:03] in a part of the New Delhi assembly constituency who have been issued notices
[00:11:07] under this category. Our colleague Kanika has joined us.
[00:11:10] Kanika, what is being said here and what
[00:11:14] has been said in the notice sent by the Election Commission?
[00:11:17] Look, absolutely, the Election Commission has issued a notice to Arvind Kejriwal and his entire family,
[00:11:21] in which it has been clearly stated that in the previous SIR
[00:11:25] process, there was no information about Arvind Kejriwal and his family.
[00:11:28] Under this, the Election Commission has issued a notice
[00:11:32] to Arvind Kejriwal, his wife Sunita Kejriwal, his mother,
[00:11:35] his father, and his son, to these five people.
[00:11:39] Now, after this whole matter, the statement that has come from the Aam Aadmi Party
[00:11:42] and Arvind Kejriwal himself clearly states how
[00:11:46] the Aam Aadmi Party is questioning the working style of the Election Commission.
[00:11:50] In fact, even before this, the Aam Aadmi Party had raised many questions regarding the SIR process
[00:11:53] in Delhi, that how the names of voters are being
[00:11:57] deleted or how the names of those who are living in Delhi from outside
[00:12:01] are being removed. But the notice that has been received now,
[00:12:05] the Aam Aadmi Party is aggressive towards the Election Commission regarding this matter.
[00:12:08] The notice issued by the Election Commission is not only for Kejriwal's family
[00:12:12] but for 140 people, which also includes
[00:12:16] the name of the Chief Minister of Delhi. Currently, in this
[00:12:19] category, it has been said that due to unmapped names in the previous
[00:12:23] SIR,
[00:12:27] to add the names back to the SIR.
[00:12:30] After this whole matter, the Aam Aadmi Party is also attacking the Election Commission.
[00:12:34] Aditi, but it remains to be seen what Arvind Kejriwal himself says
[00:12:38] when he comes forward. Currently, the Aam Aadmi Party is saying
[00:12:42] that we had already said that there is no impartiality in the work of the Election Commission,
[00:12:45] and the Aam Aadmi Party is seen making the same claim again. Thank you very much,
[00:12:49] Kanika, for all this information. We will come back to
[00:12:51] you.
[00:21:23] Rahul Gandhi accused the government of phone tapping.

[00:21:31] WhatsApp, Facebook. He taps phones and gives
[00:21:34] information to Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah. Signature Finest

[00:24:53] through work and development. With me is the Chief Minister of Haryana,
[00:24:57] Nayab Singh Saini ji. Welcome to NDTV India.

[00:25:04] in Punjab and wearing a turban, the Aam Aadmi Party and the Chief Minister of Punjab himself
[00:25:07] say that it is elections,

[00:25:24] one thing. What the Chief Minister of Punjab
[00:25:28] is saying or not saying, I don't
[00:25:31] want to go into that.
[00:25:34] I don't want to discuss
[00:25:37] that because the gurus'

[00:25:46] blessings. And Manlo ji, this

[00:26:42] He insulted those
[00:26:45] who bow their heads
[00:26:48] in the Gurudwara morning and evening.
[00:26:52] This insult was done
[00:26:56] by Bhagwant Mann. Because
[00:26:59] action was taken in the case of the murder
[00:29:06] of ASI Harjeet Singh in Amritsar, Punjab. The accused was encountered late at night.
[00:29:09] A connection of Pakistani terrorists behind the murder also
[00:29:13] came
[00:29:20] to light. In the second election, NSCUI was completely wiped out. ABVP won
[00:29:24] three posts, and independent candidate Deepanshu Shaukeen won one post.

[00:30:33] Ganju was the commander of the banned Naxal organization TPC

[00:30:44] ATS and police surrounded him near Tengra Mod
[00:30:47] in Ramnagar police station area of Varanasi. According to the police, when asked to surrender,
[00:30:51] Brijesh started firing, after which he was injured
[00:30:55] in retaliatory action. A big thing in this encounter was that the Naxalite's
[00:30:58] bullets hit UP.
