Police on May 30 filed a charge sheet against a fellow student in the case related to the alleged suicide of Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) student Darshan Solanki.
The charge sheet was filed against Arman Khatri in a special court for cases under the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act here, a prosecution source said.
Mr. Khatri is now out on bail.
Solanki, a first-year student of BTech (Chemical) course hailing from Ahmedabad, was found dead on February 12, 2023, a day after the semester exams ended.
Three weeks later, a special investigation team (SIT) of Mumbai police found a one-line note from Solanki’s room saying “Arman has killed me”.
Police had said that Mr. Khatri allegedly threatened to kill Darshan with a paper cutter after the latter had spoken `offensively’ about religion.
