On Monday, members of the Lok Sabha, transcending party affiliations, called for an inquiry into the death of three civil services aspirants at a coaching center in Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar. The tragic incident has sparked a blame game, with the BJP accusing the AAP government of neglect.

Bansuri Swaraj, BJP leader and New Delhi Lok Sabha MP, condemned the AAP for its 'utter apathy' and demanded a Home Ministry-led inquiry committee. Swaraj criticized the Delhi Government for corruption and lack of maintenance, particularly citing uncleaned drains.

Citing safety violations, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took to Zero Hour to demand compensation for the bereaved families and preventative measures. SP's Akhilesh Yadav echoed the call for a thorough investigation. Consequently, Delhi Police arrested the coaching center's owner and coordinator, charging them with culpable homicide.
