New Delhi [India], August 2 (ANI): After the Delhi High Court on Friday transferred the investigation into the deaths of three UPSC aspirants in Rajinder Nagar to CBI, some students welcomed the decision, while others demanded a Judicial Magistrate inquiry into the case.
Speaking with ANI, an aspirant said, “We welcome this decision. High Court is taking cognizance of our matter and CBI has handed over the probe. But our concern is that had a few things been implemented beforehand, this incident would not have occurred…It is good that CBI will investigate it, and we will extend all our cooperation. The main demand is that we have no data on the students who were in the library and later brought out. So, that information should be disclosed on media and social media…”
Another aspirant said, “Students had been demanding since the incident that the proper facts be brought before the students. But the administration has neither said anything nor presented any documents. Students had demanded a Judicial Magistrate inquiry…If CBI inquiry happens we will be assured that we will get to know the facts.”
Advocate Rudra Vikram Singh, petitioner in the matter, said, “The decision is not just the first step towards justice for the three innocent deceased but a plan was also made for the revamping of Delhi’s infrastructure, law and order, irregularities in arrangements. It has been ensured that no such incident occurs in future and no innocent lives are lost…”
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, four public libraries may be established by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) in Rajinder Nagar, Mukherjee Nagar, Patel Nagar, and Ber Sarai. (ANI)
