We have faith in Constitution, says Sahil Wakode’s parents

The parents of IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode on Tuesday said they have faith in the administration and the Constitution that their son, who died by suicide last week, will get justice.

Ravindra Wakode, Sahil’s father, said, “The accused in the case should be questioned and arrested. Only after the arrest will everything come out.”

“Sahil was a bright student. Cracking the JEE Advanced exam is not an ordinary achievement. Look at his All India rank,” he said. Allegations that he cheated in the JEE Advanced exam are baseless. This is an attempt to divert the matter, he said. He demanded that the accused in the case be arrested.

Sahil’s mother Sonali Wakode told reporters, “I am a mother and a teacher. I have lost my child, and only a mother can understand how much pain I am going through.” “Please ensure that he gets justice. I know how talented my child was. I appeal to all of you with folded hands and beg you to give my child justice,” she said.
