India
IIT Delhi has pushed back the deadline for its investigation into the tragic suicide of a 31-year-old MSc student.

IIT Delhi students demand probe, resignations
The student's death on August 22 led to week-long protests on campus. Students called for certain officials to step down, an independent probe into alleged institutional lapses, ₹1 crore support for the family, and protection for protesters.
The committee was set up and then restructured with Justice Gupta as chairperson, a move that signals IIT Delhi is trying to show accountability and listen to students after this loss.
