Officers investigating the death of IIT-Bombay student Darshan Solanki on Monday recorded the statements of several students, including of the classmate named in the suicide note. They, however, believe that he is not divulging the truth. “If he won’t reveal the facts, we will take the help of scientific tests, including narco-analysis and brain mapping,” an officer privy to the investigation said.
The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Mumbai police’s crime branch found the note on March 3, in which Solanki named the classmate and stated that he was “going to kill me”. The police filed the FIR against an unknown person under IPC Section 306 (abetment to suicide) on March 30, based on his family’s complaint alleging cast-based discrimination. Thereafter, the SIT, headed by Joint Commissioner of Police (crime) Lakhmi Gautam and Deputy Commissioner of Police Krishnakant Upadhyay, intensified the probe.
