Fresh CCTV footage from IIT Bombay shows 22-year-old student Sahil Wakode being questioned and taken out of an examination hall on September 18. He was seen leaving the hall between 12:30 pm and 12:45 pm. Investigators are checking CCTV footage from the campus and hostel to trace his movements. Sahil was found dead in his hostel room around 1:25 pm. His family has alleged caste-based harassment, but these claims have not been established. The case was transferred to the Mumbai Crime Branch. IIT Bombay students have submitted an 18-point charter seeking an independent probe, disciplinary reforms and better student support.
