Watch: CCTV captures moment Delhi's Satya Niketan building collapses, leaving 6 dead
CCTV footage has revealed the moment a multi-story building collapsed in Delhi's Satya Niketan area, resulting in six deaths. The building, which housed students in a boys' paying guest accommodation near Delhi University's South Campus, fell while repairs and construction were underway. A sixth person was declared dead after being rescued overnight.
Emergency services, including the Delhi Police, Fire Service, National Disaster Response Force, and Delhi Disaster Management Authority, have been coordinating a rescue and search operation. The building owner, contractor, and laborers are expected to be questioned by police, and a magisterial inquiry has been ordered. Several patients were treated at AIIMS, with five fatalities and five more, including one critical case, succumbing to injuries.
The collapse has sparked questions about construction safety, particularly during monsoon season, and the enforcement of building and fire safety regulations in densely populated areas of Delhi.
