MUMBAI: In a dramatic turn early Wednesday morning, the parents of IIT-Bombay student Sahil Wakode alleged that they had been driven out of Mumbai in a “private car” despite repeatedly telling the driver that they intended to remain in the city and begin a hunger strike outside the Powai institute. By early morning, the family said they had reached the Karanja Lad area of Washim district. At some point in Powai after leaving IITB gate, they were asked by men who were not in uniform to shift to another vehicle, according to Kamble. I don’t know the name of the officers, they were in mufti,” Kamble said. Sahil’s father, Ravindra Wakode, said the family repeatedly asked the driver where they were being taken. “He kept saying, ‘I am dropping you home’,” Wakode said, who added, they were also tired and sleepy. “I have taken permission for that,” Wakode said. “We then told the driver that we wanted to use the washroom and got off the vehicle,” he said. Wakode said the family was now returning to Mumbai and that he remained determined to begin the hunger strike outside IIT-Bombay.
“We were asked to change the car by some people who were not in uniform. I was wondering why my clients were being taken in a private car when they had their own vehicle. So I too sat along with them. The family claimed they made it clear that they did not want to return home and instead planned to begin a hunger strike outside the IIT-Bombay campus from Wednesday morning. Kamble claimed that police vehicles initially followed the private car, but were no longer visible after the vehicle entered the Samruddhi Expressway. “I want justice for my son.
