Seven Killed in Delhi Building Collapse; Victim's Family Donates CorneasPreviousNext

Seven people died when a five-storey building housing a boys' paying guest accommodation collapsed in Delhi's Satya Niketan area on Sunday. Among the victims were 19-year-old Arpit Jaj and 17-year-old Akshat Singh Yadav, both students from Madhya Pradesh studying in Delhi. Arpit's family, despite their grief, decided to donate his corneas to help others. The building owner, Hariram Gupta, was arrested, and a magisterial inquiry has been ordered. Families identified their sons through distinctive marks amid the tragedy.
