Around 7 pm on Saturday, the Delhi Fire Services received a call about flooding in the basement of Rau’s IAS Study Circle, and deployed five fire tenders for rescue operations, officials said. Divers from the National Disaster Response Force were also deployed to save the trapped students, though a faculty member at the coaching centre said that should have been prioritised instead of the fire tenders.

A faculty member said when the flooding first began, efforts were made to evacuate the students, and a call was made to 112, but traffic jams led to delays in rescuers reaching there.

The deceased were identified as Shreya Yadav from Uttar Pradesh, Tanya Soni from Telangana, and Nivin Dalwin from Kerala​

The incident has sparked significant outrage and protests among students and the public, primarily due to allegations of negligence and regulatory violations by the coaching centre’s management. It was reported that the basement, which was being used as a library, had improper drainage, and the building’s owners allegedly forged documents to conceal its actual usage​.

In response to the tragedy, the police have detained the coaching centre’s owner and coordinator, and a comprehensive investigation is underway. Additionally, a magisterial inquiry has been ordered to determine the exact circumstances and ensure accountability​.
