In a tragic incident in southeast Delhi's Jaitpur, a wall collapse resulted in the deaths of seven individuals. The wall, part of a structure not intended for residential use, collapsed following heavy rainfall on Saturday morning, leaving one injured survivor undergoing treatment.
Authorities have arrested Kurshid, a 49-year-old tenant, for accommodating families illegally on the premises, which were used for scrap-related work. The landlord, Rajbir Bhati, is currently evading arrest. Efforts are underway to locate him.
A case has been filed, highlighting critical issues surrounding illegal housing and safety negligence. The victims were primarily migrant workers dealing in scrap, originally from West Bengal and Assam.
