The Special Investigation Team (SIT) in charge of the Darshan Solanki death case has learnt that the IIT-Bombay student had apologised to his classmate multiple times in the week leading up to his suicide on February 12, sources said. He had mentioned the name of this student in the note. The cops are now probing what was the deceased apologetic about. Sources from the SIT have revealed that around 35 statements have been recorded in the case so far, and it has appeared that there was some tension between Solanki and the classmate named in the suicide note.

On April 4, mid-day reported, quoting sources in the police, that some students had seen Solanki apologising to the classmate, and further probe has revealed that he had done so on five instances. “No one knows the reason, or they may not be revealing the truth to us, which is why we are exploring scientific [lie-detection] tests on the classmate named in the suicide note,” an officer said.
