New Delhi: Tragedy struck a coaching centre in Rajinder Nagar as three young IAS aspirants lost their lives due to flooding. The Delhi Police has taken swift action by registering an FIR and forming multiple teams to thoroughly investigate the incident. This unfortunate event has left the entire nation in shock and disbelief.
According to officials, the owner and coordinator of the Rau's IAS Study Circle have been arrested and charged with culpable homicide and other offenses. The police are leaving no stone unturned in their investigation and have sought a report from the Delhi Fire Services about the building and basement where the incident took place. The senior police officer in charge of the case stated that the basement, which was being used as a library, was actually listed as a store room. This raises questions about the safety measures in place at the coaching centre.
It has been reported that on the evening of the incident, heavy rains caused the basement to flood and trap more than 18 students who were studying there. Sources from the police department revealed that the basement gate was closed, but the pressure of the rainwater caused it to break, leading to water gushing in. The police are currently reviewing CCTV footage from the area to piece together the sequence of events. They are also planning to record statements from witnesses who were present near the institute when the tragedy occurred.
Deputy Commissioner of Police M Harsha Vardhan assured that the police are taking this incident very seriously and have registered an FIR under various sections of the law. The investigation is underway, and two people, including the owner and coordinator of the coaching centre, have been arrested so far.
The FIR, filed by Sub-Inspector Dharmender Kumar Sharma, revealed that the owner of the coaching centre was unable to provide the necessary documents to operate a library in the basement. It was also found that there was no drainage system in place in the basement, which could have worsened the situation. As soon as the police received a PCR call about the flooding, they rushed to the spot and informed the necessary authorities, including the fire department and National Disaster Response Force.
During the rescue operation, the bodies of two female students and one male student were recovered from the flooded basement. The victims were identified as Shreya Yadav from Ghaziabad, Tanya Soni from Telangana, and Nevin Delvin from Ernakulam in Kerala. A video of the incident has been circulating on social media, showing students trying to escape the flooded library through the stairs.
This tragic incident has raised concerns about the safety and security measures in place at coaching centers, and it is essential for the authorities to take necessary steps to prevent such incidents from happening in the future. The nation mourns the loss of these bright young minds and hopes for a thorough and fair investigation to bring justice to the victims and their families.
