4 co-owners of Rajendra Nagar basement move Delhi high court
Hindustan TimesThe four co-owners of the coaching centre basement in Old Rajendra Nagar, where three IAS aspirants drowned on July 27, approached the Delhi high court on Wednesday, five days after a city court denied them bail. Three IAS aspirants drowned in the basement of the coaching centre at Old Rajendra Nagar in New Delhi on July 27. In their plea filed through advocates Gaurav Dua and Kaushal Jeet Kait, the co-owners – Sarabjeet Singh, Tejinder Singh, Harinder Singh and Parminder Singh – who were arrested on July 28, asserted that the city court, while refusing to release them on bail, failed to consider that they had voluntarily surrendered to the investigating officer, despite not being named in the first information report. The petition alleged that the city court had even failed to note that the co-owners had merely given the basement and third floor on lease for running a coaching centre, an act permissible by the norms of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi.
