Delhi Police, MCD in mission mode

A day after the arrest of the owner and coordinator of Rau's IAS Study Circle, Delhi Police announced on Monday that they have arrested five more individuals in connection with the case in which three Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) aspirants drowned in the basement of the coaching centre.

Among those arrested is the driver of a sport utility vehicle that drove through the flooded street on Saturday, causing the water to breach the gates of the three-storey building. The vehicle has also been seized.

Amid high-voltage protests and charges of negligence, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) demolished encroachments in the area and arrested two officials for alleged lapses. MCD Commissioner Ashwani Kumar told reporters that they would "recover" the drainage system in the region. "MCD has terminated a junior engineer, suspended an assistant engineer, and is seeking an explanation from the executive engineer concerned," he added.
