  "account": "Delhi Police are relying on a rescued student to build their case against the operators of Satya Niketan PG, following the five-storey building collapse. The victim, Nitish Chib (19), from Raipur village in Jammu, was living in room 202 when the structure crumbled, killing seven people, including five of his fellow tenants. Chib had lodged complaints with the property's operators, Sudhanshu Lovneesh and Subham Tyagi, about excessive noise and iron rod cutting on the ground floor. Police sources claim that Chib's statement, along with lease papers, will prove that Hostel Days was actively promoting the construction and threatening anyone who spoke out against it. Lovneesh and Tyagi were both arrested after the incident, with Tyagi surrendering at the police station on Friday. The police allege that the building was leased to both men, with the upper floors leased to Lovneesh and the lower floors to Tyagi. The owner, Hariram and his family, as well as a labour contractor, have also been arrested for allegedly exceeding the permitted construction limits.",
