Zoho Corporation CEO Sridhar Vembu has voiced support for IIT Bombay Professor Suryanarayana Doolla, who is currently facing legal action following the suicide of a 22-year-old student. The professor was booked after allegations surfaced regarding the use of caste-based insults. The student had reportedly been caught using a mobile device during an academic examination prior to the incident. Vembu expressed concern that the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act is being misused or weaponized in this context. The case has sparked significant discussion regarding the application of these legal provisions in academic settings and the circumstances surrounding the student's tragic death.
