Today, On 21st October, the Supreme Court of India called for uniform safety standards in coaching centers following the drowning deaths of three civil service aspirants in Delhi. The court demanded stricter regulations to enhance student protection and prevent future tragedies, emphasizing permanent oversight and comprehensive policies across the National Capital Region.
A Delhi court has placed six individuals under 14-day judicial custody in connection with the drowning of three civil services aspirants at a coaching center basement in Old Rajinder Nagar. The Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate ordered them to remain in custody until September 18, following an application by the CBI. The case involves allegations of criminal negligence, dereliction of duty, and corrupt practices.
The four co-owners of a coaching centre in Old Rajinder Nagar have sought bail from the Delhi High Court after their previous bail request was denied by the trial court. The denial was based on their liability for permitting the basement, where three IAS aspirants drowned on July 27, 2024, to be used as a coaching institute.
