IIT Bombay on Monday clarified that Director Prof Shireesh B. Kedare has not resigned, calling reports of his resignation false, while also apologising for its earlier communication on the circumstances surrounding the death of second-year student Sahil Ravindra Wakode.
The institute said the details leading up to Wakode's death remain subject to investigation and that it was inappropriate to characterise events preceding his demise before they were established through the investigative process.
