Delhi Probe Finds MCD Primarily Responsible for Saket Building Collapse
A Delhi government-ordered magisterial probe found the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) primarily responsible for the Saket building collapse on May 30, which killed six and injured eight. The inquiry cited unauthorized structural additions and inadequate enforcement of building bylaws by the MCD. It noted administrative inaction despite a March complaint about illegal construction and alleged that MCD officials fabricated documents post-collapse to mislead the investigation. Other agencies, including police and Delhi Jal Board, were cleared of blame.
