Chargesheet Filed Over May 30 Saket Building Collapse Citing Illegal Construction
A chargesheet was filed on August 13 in a Saket court against building owner Karamvir Singh and two builders for the May 30 collapse of a four-storey building in Said-ul-Ajaib, Saket, which killed six people. The chargesheet cites illegal additions of fifth and sixth floors and basement excavation that weakened the structure. The accused face multiple charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Rescue efforts followed the collapse, and further forensic analysis of the building materials is ongoing. The next court hearing is set for August 22.
