The IIT Madras Faculty Association has expressed support for IIT Bombay Professor Doolla in a dispute linked to a student’s suicide, NDTV reported. The association said it stood with Professor Doolla. It also extended condolences to Sahil Wakode’s family, friends and classmates.

No response from the student’s family, Professor Doolla or IIT Bombay was included in the material provided.
