IIT Bombay apologises for earlier statements made in connection with the death of student Sahil Ravindra Wakode. Wakode is reported to have been found dead in his hostel room on the IIT Bombay campus on Friday last.

The apology comes amid public dispute over how earlier information was communicated, with outlets highlighting that the school acknowledges the need for better handling of the situation. While the reports focus on the apology, they also reflect broader concern about the accuracy and timing of statements during sensitive incidents involving students. The university’s response signals a shift in tone, aiming to address criticism and reduce escalation as the matter is reviewed.
