Delhi Coaching Flooding: Rau's IAS Owner, Coordinator Detained; AAP-BJP Begin Blame Game

The owner and coordinator of Rau's IAS Study Circle where three students died after drowning in the basement have been detained by the police.

The owner and coordinator of the coaching centre in Delhi where three students died of drowning after floodwater inundated the basement have been detained, said the Delhi police on Sunday. 

A case against the owner and coordinator of Rau's IAS Study Circle in the Old Rajinder Nagar was detained and booked under Sections 105, 106(1), 115/2, 290 and 35 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), reported India Today.

The victims were identified as Tania Soni (25), Shreya Yadav (25), and Nevin Dalwin (28).

Earlier in the day, Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi ordered the Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi to take strict action against coaching centres operating in basements which violate building byelaws and not as per the norms.

AAP-BJP Trade Blame 

Delhi Bharatiya Janata Party chief Virendraa Sachdeva slammed the Aam Aadmi Party government dubbing the incident as murder.

"This is not an incident but a murder. Students come to Delhi to make their future, but they have become victim of corruption. Nobody is answering how the library was established in the basement. There was an incident in Mukherjee Nagar, the Delhi government launched an investigation. What has happened to the investigation," said the Delhi BJP chief.

Meanwhile, AAP MLA Durgesh Pathak blamed the BJP for the incident.

"The water has receded now but enough is enough... This is a completely criminal activity, strict action should be taken against the officials who are responsible... Desilting (of the drain) was done but still, there should be an inquiry and if someone is responsible, strict action should be taken..." Pathak said.

"Delhi's drainage system has collapsed and the reason for this is that the BJP was in power for 15 years. We have been here for the last year and are working on the drains, but I do not want to get into any blame game, I want it to be investigated and strict action should be taken against whoever is responsible," he added.
