Family Claims Husband is a Victim, Not Accused in Rajinder Nagar Tragedy

Manuj Kathuria, accused in the Rajinder Nagar flooding incident that resulted in the death of three IAS aspirants, is defended by his wife Shima. She claims he is a victim, not an accused, and that the car he was driving did not cause the gate to break. The family is waiting for the court’s decision on his bail plea.

In a recent development concerning the Rajinder Nagar flooding incident, Manuj Kathuria’s wife has stepped forward, claiming her husband is a victim, not an accused. Kathuria was among five individuals arrested following the tragic deaths of three IAS aspirants in a flooded basement.

The incident allegedly occurred when Kathuria’s SUV drove through a waterlogged street, causing a surge that breached a building's gate and led to the basement flooding. Shima Kathuria insists her husband had no knowledge of the gate breaking due to his car, attributing the incident to prior waterlogging issues weakening the gate.

Manuj Kathuria’s wife detailed the family’s distress following his arrest, expressing faith in the judicial system. She contends that he was not driving recklessly, and the vehicle’s brake lights were clearly on during the event. The case has now reached a critical juncture as the court deliberates on his bail plea.
