The ongoing controversy surrounding the alleged pro-Hamas lecture and documentary screening at the IIT Bombay earlier this month continues to intensify. Amid a police complaint against IIT Bombay professor, Sharmistha Saha, and guest lecturer, Sudhanva Deshpande, for allegedly glorifying and favouring the Gaza-based militant group Hamas, the Faculty Forum of IIT Bombay has openly expressed support for Saha in a letter by its president, Professor Rajkumar Pant.

In the letter dated November 14, Professor Rajkumar Pant, president of the Faculty Forum of IIT B stated that the forum condemns the spread of misinformation and threats directed at their fellow professor and colleague, Saha.
