Following the building collapse at a paying guest accommodation in Delhi's Satya Niketan, police have arrested five persons, including the building owner Hariram Gupta, his wife Urmila Gupta, their son Mahesh Gupta, PG operator Sudhanshu, and labour contractor Sanju. A search is underway for another operator on the run. The building collapsed due to basement work carried out without safety measures. Meanwhile, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi and Delhi Police launched demolition drives against illegal and unauthorised structures across areas including Uttam Nagar, Laxmi Nagar, Mukherjee Nagar, and Geeta Colony following directions against dangerous and unapproved constructions.

00:00Let me now bring you the details about what action is being taken.
00:03Remember, as Moshmi is showing to us, the ones who are staying there are not getting served.
00:07Their food, their operators, wardens are running away.
00:10This is because five arrests took place.
00:12Hariram Gupta, the elderly owner of the collapsed PG accommodation, has been arrested.
00:17So one of the first arrests, though he was absconding for several hours.
00:21Urmila Gupta, his wife, and also because who clearly had stakes and when it came to responsibility and accountability,
00:28was also taken in custody. Their son, Mahesh Gupta, has also been arrested by the police.
00:33Three of them. Two other arrests have taken place. What kind?
00:37Sudhan Shoo is the PG operator.
00:39Now, this is slightly dicey because a PG operator wouldn't have as much of responsibility
00:44as perhaps the owner should of the foundation and the work at the building.
00:49However, Sanoj, a labour contractor, has been arrested and he's been arrested
00:53because there was work going on in the basement and that enough precautions,
00:56safety measures were not taken that led to the collapse of the building and the deaths we have witnessed.
01:02So this is what has happened.
01:03The Shubham Tyagi, another PG operator, is currently on the run.
01:07But of course, the police teams are searching.
01:10But remember, ladies and gentlemen, Satya Niketan is only one part of Delhi.
01:14There are several areas around Delhi which are affordable accommodations for students,
01:18whether undergraduate, postgraduate or working professionals.
01:22Here's what Piyush Mishra found from Uttam Nagar.
01:26After Satya Niketan incident, it seems like Delhi government can actually have now swung into action.
01:33Right now, I'm present at Uttam Nagar where an under construction building is facing the bulldozer action.
01:41You can see as to how the terrace of this building is being demolished.
01:46And apart from that, there are other areas also of this under construction building.
01:50Those were constructed without taking proper permission from the authorities.
01:55MCD officials are also telling us that this is a regularized colony of Uttam Nagar.
02:02Okay, you can do construction, but you have to do construction only and only after taking proper permission
02:07and getting a proper mapping done, getting proper, you know, research done.
02:13But that was not done without taking proper permission.
02:17All the norms were flouted and that's why the actions are being taken by the authorities here.
02:23You can see as to how bulldozer is being used where they are, you know, removing the terrace,
02:29extended terrace of this building.
02:32It is a four-floor building and there is no issue in constructing such buildings.
02:38But you have to follow all the norms and the regulations before taking out such construction.
03:42That is the building let's go!
03:51This building was built in about 4 years ago and there was a notice in 2023 but after that, the
03:59workers were buried in a low level.
04:01The workers were buried in this building and the workers were buried in front of them.
