Following the tragic suicide of Akshith Bhukya at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM)-Ahmedabad, the institute’s 1981-batch alumni have submitted a letter to the high-powered external committee probing this incident.

In an official release, IIM-A alumni S Vishwanath stated, “The Akshith Bhukya incident has affected those affiliated across the IIMs, which has prompted the association to write this mail.”

The alumni association has requested that the four-member team, tasked with probing the factor behind Akshith's pressure, to conduct an impartial investigation.

Currently, the committee has urged the institution's affiliated members to email any insights into this incident.

Vishwanath stated that they also found several lapses following this incident. He adds that the alumni association was also kept in the dark and was not initially communicated with.

Vishwanath also pushed for the association’s involvement in the institution’s future proceedings.

Notably, IIM-A formed the four-member committee following an uproar among students. However, the probe has not procured any substantial developments.
