IIT Madras Director V Kamakoti endorsed the "medicinal values" of 'gomutra' (cow urine) and praised its "anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and digestive properties". In a now-viral video, Kamakoti said gomutra helps with conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome and that it can cure high fever. "This is standard of IITs these days," an X user said. "He's degrading institute he represents," said another.
