The Delhi High Court on Friday transferred the investigation of the deaths of three civil services aspirants at Rau IAS Study Circle in Old Rajinder Nagar to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

A bench headed by Acting Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela expressed frustration, stating, that the MCD officials seem to be indifferent, and this kind of neglect has become a norm.

The Court also ordered the central vigilance commissioner to appoint an officer to monitor the CBI probe and ensure its timely completion. Considering the nature of the incident and to maintain public confidence in the investigation, this court transferred the probe to the CBI, stated the high court.

The Court criticized the civic agencies for treating its orders as water off a duck back, spotlighting the deficient and poorly maintained physical infrastructure in Delhi including the drainage system.

In recent tragedies, the Court noted that civic agencies are not sincerely following court orders. During the hearing, the high court sharply criticised the Delhi Police and the Municipal Corporation over the deaths of the aspirants.

Referring to the arrest of an SUV driver who drove past the coaching institute, the Court sarcastically remarked, “Mercifully you have not challenged rainwater for entering the basement.”

The tragic incident occurred on 27 July, when three civil services aspirants Shreya Yadav, Tanya Soni, and Nevin Dalvin died after rainwater flooded the basement of Rau IAS Study Circle.

The student fraternity reacted promptly and harshly to the flooding, and protests have been going on since then in regard to better safety measures at coaching centers.

This move of the Court comes with the view to having transparency in the probe and regaining public confidence in the probe process by transferring the investigation to the CBI and appointing a central vigilance officer to oversee the probe.

It has also appealed to the civic agencies to follow the legal orders strictly and to improve the infrastructure of the city to avoid the repetition of such incidents.
