An IIT Bombay student, Sahil Wakode, is reported to have died by suicide. In statements to NDTV, his grandmother, Shyamlata Tayade, describes the family’s grief and says they cannot accept the circumstances of his death.
According to her remarks, Wakode had worked hard to secure admission to one of India’s premier institutions. The family’s response, as conveyed by NDTV, focuses on his effort and promise leading up to his admission, rather than on any specific cause for his death.
Across the two NDTV reports provided, the accounts are closely aligned, both centering on the same individual and the same family member, and both emphasize the family’s difficulty accepting that a young man who studied and progressed to IIT Bombay could die by suicide.
