New Delhi [India], August 2 (ANI): The Delhi High Court on Friday transferred the investigation case pertaining to the deaths of three UPSC aspirants in Old Rajinder Nagar to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The reason cited for this decision is the seriousness of the incidents and the potential involvement of corruption by public servants.
The Delhi High Court directed the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) to nominate a senior officer to oversee the CBI probe into the deaths of the Civil Services aspirants.
Meanwhile, the protests outside the coaching institutes in Delhi’s Rajinder Nagar continued for the sixth day on Friday after three UPSC aspirants lost their lives in a flooding incident at an IAS coaching centre.
The students have been protesting since July 27.
On Thursday, Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi ordered officials to set up four libraries in the name of the three deceased UPSC aspirants who lost their lives in the Rajinder Nagar basement flood incident earlier on July 27.
Mayor Oberoi said that, as per the proposed plan, the four public libraries may be established by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) in Rajinder Nagar, Mukherjee Nagar, Patel Nagar, and Ber Sarai.
Earlier, Delhi’s Tis Hazari court on Thursday granted bail to Manuj Kathuria, the SUV driver accused in the deaths of three UPSC aspirants at a coaching centre in Old Rajinder Nagar.
It was alleged that he drove his vehicle in a rash and negligent manner that caused water to enter the basement.
Additional Sessions Judge Rakesh Kumar-IV granted bail to Manuj Kathuria on furnishing a bail bond of Rs 50,000 and a surety in the like amount. However, his bail bond could not be furnished due to reason that the concerned and duty judicial magistrate had risen by the time the order was supplied to the counsel for the accused.
The Judge said that from the perusal of the record, it appears that the present accused was implicated in over-enthusiasm while he has been charged under section 105 of BNS which is non-bailable.(ANI)
