Fatal Coaching Centre Tragedy in Delhi Ignites Political Firestorm

The death of three civil services aspirants in a flooded basement of a central Delhi coaching centre has sparked political blame games and protests. The centre's owner and coordinator were arrested for culpable homicide. Safety violations and lack of proper drainage systems were cited as major factors in the tragedy.

An absence of drainage systems and safety measures, coupled with the illegal use of a basement for commercial activities, led to the deaths of three aspirants at a coaching centre in central Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar area, officials and students confirmed on Sunday.

The Delhi Police arrested the owner and the coordinator of Rau's IAS Study Circle, charging them with culpable homicide among other offenses.

A political blame game ensued, with BJP and Congress criticizing the AAP government, labeling the incident a 'murder.' Three students drowned after heavy rain flooded the basement of the institute, which was illegally used as a library.
