Two Builders Arrested in Connection with Saidulajab Building Collapse in DelhiPreviousNext

Delhi Police arrested two builders, Avneesh Gupta and Manish Khatri, in connection with the May 30 collapse of a multi-storey building in Saidulajab, south Delhi, which killed six and injured eight. The accused fled to Dehradun and Manali before their arrest in Vasant Kunj. Investigations focus on their role in unauthorized construction of additional floors on the building, whose owner, Karamveer, is also in custody. Authorities are examining structural deficiencies and violations of building norms contributing to the collapse.
