Delhi Court Seeks Fresh Report in Biker's Death at Janakpuri Excavation SitePreviousNext

A 25-year-old biker, Kamal Dhyani, died after falling into an uncovered 14-15 foot deep excavation pit dug by the Delhi Jal Board in Janakpuri, West Delhi, on February 5-6. Investigations revealed the absence of safety measures like caution boards and barricades at the site. Two arrests have been made, including a sub-contractor and a labourer, the latter seen on CCTV placing barricades after the incident. Three DJB officials have been suspended. The court has sought fresh status reports amid concerns over evidence tampering.
