Notably, three students died after the basement of a building housing a coaching centre in Delhi's Old Rajendra Nagar was flooded following rains on Saturday evening. The Delhi Police arrested the owner and coordinator of the coaching centre in connection with the incident and charged them with culpable homicide, among other charges.

In a significant step, following the deaths of three Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) aspirants due to flooding at Rau's IAS coaching institute in Delhi's Old Rajendra Nagar, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has sealed the basements of 13 Civil Services Institutes.

The corporation's crackdown on properties violating building bylaws came in response to the harrowing incident on Saturday evening, which triggered massive protests by students in the Old Rajendra Nagar area.
