00:00And now shifting our focus back to the Satya Niketan building collapse.
00:04Major revelations in the FIR.
00:07Allegations of adding four floors driven by greed for rental income.
00:12Construction continued despite knowledge that the foundation could not bear the extra load.
00:17The police have leveled serious allegations in the FIR registered regarding the building collapse in Delhi's Satya Niketan on Sunday.
00:24According to the FIR, the building owner Hariram Bansal and his brother,
00:29allegedly constructed four additional floors atop the decades-old building driven by the desire for rental income.
00:36Police state that the owners were aware that the old building's foundation was incapable of withstanding the additional weight.
00:43Despite this, new construction work on the building continued.
00:47The FIR notes that the additional floors and new construction placed excessive strain on the building's structural integrity and load
00:55-bearing capacity,
00:56are causing it to exceed its limits.
00:59Consequently, the building suddenly collapsed.
01:02My colleague Arvind Dojwa is now joining us with more details on this.
01:06Arvind, there is a great knowledge that the allegations were found that the structure was too small, too old.
01:14But the twenty-four floors were made made up of 4 floors.
01:27Arvind, there is a full authority over 4 floors on it.
01:44It was quite a bit difficult and there were 4 people who were made in this case, when the construction
01:51of this work was done,
01:52it was a building and then it was a building.
01:57There were 7 people who were dead.
02:00This was the F.I.R. from Delhi Police.
02:03and the three accused of the police in this place
02:08where Hari Ram, his wife and his son Abhishek
02:12were arrested.
02:14And the son of Abhishek was arrested
02:16and took the police custody and took the police to the next question.
02:21And only four floors,
02:24we also had a clue that we had a clue
02:26that the basement was still running
02:28without the whole building to remove the whole building.
03:00Yes, absolutely.
03:01Yes, absolutely.
03:34Yes, Arvind, thank you very much for your knowledge.
05:55beds you end up constructing more floors without approval and that's what had happened in this
06:01particular case as well that's what the FIR is pointing at that because of the greed of more
06:08rent the owner of this particular building had constructed four additional floors and the
06:16building did not had the load bearing capacity because of this possibly this tragedy happened
06:23along with that one more thing has come out that you know the investigation will go on seven people
06:29have died that have been mentioned in the FIR as well and 12 were injured in in because of this
06:37tragedy what we are given to understand that all of these details of those dead of you know those
06:44who sustained injuries all of that will be also part of the investigation from here on it there is
06:51no direct charge of murder this is culpable homicide that has been pressed against the accused in this
06:58particular case but there are bigger questions Anjali as well there's a story of a building owner
07:05who is greedy who built up floors after floors but the question is also whether the police around the
07:11area was not seeing when those floors were being built up number one what was the MCD officer doing
07:17on the ground when illegal construction was happening what was the electricity department doing when
07:23the bills must have been increased because when you build on floor after floor your approved load is
07:29something else the uses could be completely different same goes for the water department and these are the
07:35questions Anjali you would remember we were asking even when that Malvianagar fire incidents had happened
07:41in that particular case as well we had seen as to how multiple organizations institutions in this
07:48national capital had failed to do their job and same is the case in this particular incident as well
07:55where is the accountability of people who are heading those institutions why are questions not being asked
08:02from MCD but today I will also get you these visuals that are coming from the ground Anjali you will
08:08see these you know
08:10a support system being given to this particular building what we are given to understand that as the day progresses
08:18in a phase wise manner this building will be also brought down by the MCD because they fear it is
08:24now unsafe the building in which that tragedy had happened
08:28that was right next to this building and after the collapse in normal cases as well you see other buildings
08:38also get the safety of those buildings
08:40also get compromised so that action will be also happening today here at satyanate and back to you all right
08:46thank you for those details so FIR has been registered charges have been leveled against the owner
08:52you know
08:52you
