The Handwriting Bureau of the Crime Investigation Department (CID) has confirmed to Mumbai Crime Branch’s SIT, that the handwriting on a one-line suicide note found on March 3 in his hostel room, matches that of Darshan Solanki. The IIT Bombay student had died by suicide on February 12 by jumping from the 7th floor of his hostel on the institute’s Powai campus.

According to sources from the Special Investigation Team (SIT), officials wrote to the handwriting bureau two days after finding the note, and Solanki’s family confirmed the match. To ensure a conclusive report, officials submitted three different sets of Solanki’s handwriting, all of which matched the writing on the note.
