The SIT (special investigation team), under Joint Commissioner of Crime Lakhmi Gautam and DCP Krishnakant Upadhyay, is likely to book an 18-year-old fellow student for abetment to suicide, and under the Atrocities Act in connection with the suicide case of Darshan Solanki, an IIT Bombay student. Solanki’s suicide note was found in his room at the hostel, wherein he has alleged, “Arman has killed me”. 

According to sources, the SIT found the suicide note during a search of Solanki’s room. “The panchnama was done for close to eight hours after the suicide note was discovered,” said Upadhyay. The note has been sent to the Handwriting and Photograph Bureau of the Crime Investigation Department (CID) of Maharashtra police. Solanki’s parents have confirmed that the writing found on the note is their son’s. The note said “Arman has killed me”.
