New Delhi: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Monday constituted a committee to investigate the deaths of 3 Civil Services aspirants at a coaching centre in old Rajinder Nagar here.
The committee has been tasked with inquiring into the reasons, fix responsibility, suggest measures and recommend policy changes, MHA spokesperson posted on X.
“The committee will have Additional Secretary, MoUHA, Principal Secretary (Home), Delhi Govt, Special CP, Delhi Police, Fire Advisor and JS, MHA as Convener. It will submit its report in 30 days,” the ministry added.
A political blame game has broken out with BJP blaming AAP-helmed Delhi government, and vice-versa.
Union Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan said in Rajya Sabha that the deaths of Shreya Yadav, Tanya Soni and Nivin Dalwin, who were drowned in the basement of the building housing Rau’s Study Circle, were due to negligence.
“We must fix responsibility so that such incidents do not recur. There should be no politics… Negligence has happened and someone has to take responsibility so that a solution can be found,” the minister added.
