7 Sep
Summary
- Four people died in the Satya Niketan building collapse.
- An FIR will be registered, and raids are underway for accused.
- Delhi CM visited rescued individuals at AIIMS Trauma Centre.
A building collapse in Delhi's Satya Niketan area has tragically claimed four lives, as confirmed by Delhi police officials. An FIR is slated for registration, with simultaneous raids initiated to apprehend the individuals involved in the incident.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed his sorrow over the distressing loss of life. Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta visited the AIIMS Trauma Centre to meet with those rescued and currently undergoing medical treatment.
Eyewitness accounts suggest that recent work in the building's basement, which subsequently flooded, may have contributed to the collapse of the old, multi-story structure. The incident occurred around 1 AM, with a PCR call received by Police Station South Campus shortly after. Concerns about potential hostel shortages have also been raised in light of the event.
