Parents of an IIT Bombay student begin a hunger strike at Azad Maidan in Mumbai, according to NDTV. The student, Sahil Wakode from Yavatmal in Maharashtra, is reported to have told his parents that he faces casteist slurs and discrimination.
The reports describe the hunger strike as a response to the student’s allegations of mistreatment. They do not detail any formal action taken by IIT Bombay or other authorities in the cited material, nor do they specify the time frame of the strike. NDTV’s two versions of the story present the same core facts: the location of the protest, the identity and home district of the student, and the nature of the complaints made to his parents.
