The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Wednesday demanded a thorough investigation into the alleged suicide of IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode and stressed that action should be taken against whoever is found responsible after the probe.
Taking any action without a detailed understanding of the matter and ascertaining the truth would not be appropriate, ABVP national general secretary Virendra Singh Solanki told PTI during a wide-ranging interview.
