Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IITB) student Darshan Solanki who allegedly committed suicide had told his mother that caste-based discrimination existed on the institute's campus, a chargesheet filed in the case by police has said.
He also told his mother during telephonic conversations that the behaviour of fellow students changed when they learned about his caste, it claimed.
The statement of Solnaki's mother is part of the chargesheet filed by the city police on Tuesday before a special court for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
The chargesheet named fellow student Arman Khatri who is out on bail after being arrested for allegedly abetting the suicide.
