Parents intensify protest over student death as government silent

The parents of Sahil Wakode maintained their hunger strike on Monday as the protest against the circumstances surrounding their son's death gathered momentum with additional support from political activists. Youth Congress workers joined the ongoing demonstration, amplifying calls for government action on the matter.

While Ravindra Wakode, the student's father, declined to address journalists directly, the family's lawyer stated that no substantive response has been received from government authorities despite the submission of their demands. The lack of official communication has prompted the family to escalate their protest methods.

The involvement of Youth Congress workers marks a shift toward broader political mobilisation around the case, potentially increasing pressure on state authorities to engage with the grieving family. The extended hunger strike signals the family's determination to secure what they view as necessary accountability and action.

Details regarding the specific demands made by the family and the circumstances leading to Wakode's death were not immediately clarified. The ongoing stalemate between the family and government authorities continues to draw public attention to the unresolved matter.
