Students' Dreams Crushed in Delhi Building Collapse

A devastating building collapse in Saidullajab, South Delhi, on Saturday evening resulted in the deaths of six individuals, primarily young students. The four-storey structure crumbled around 7:15 pm, tragically ending the aspirations of several bright minds. Among the deceased were Ravi Prakash, 26, who had completed his MBBS abroad and was preparing for the mandatory FMG examination in India, and Nalin, 22, who had moved to Delhi to prepare for the GATE exam.

Other victims included Ekta, another MBBS aspirant, and Alok and Kapil, both preparing for GATE. Parvati, who operated a kitchen adjacent to the building, was also among those killed. Police investigations suggest that illegal construction work on the upper floors of the building may have led to the structural failure. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi has suspended two engineers for dereliction of duty in connection with the incident. The building owner has been detained, and an FIR has been registered.
