Delhi, July 28: Three IAS aspirants lost their lives after the basement of Rau's IAS Study Circle building was flooded on Saturday in Old Rajinder Nagar in Delhi. Though the Delhi Police is probing the matter and have arrested the coaching centre owner and coordinator after filing an FIR in the case, a video surfaced on social media platform X which showed an SUV speeding through the flooded street opposite Rau's IAS Study Circle building. The video shows the steel shed at the basement gate collapsing due to the force of the water which was created by the speeding vehicle.
The video clip showed that as soon as the steel shed collapsed, water entered the basement at a tremendous speed.
The viral video is being shared on social media claiming that water filled inside the basement after the steel shed collapsed due to the speeding SUV passing through the flooded lane in front of Rau's IAS study circle in Old Rajinder Nagar.
The video shows how people standing at the opposite building reacted shockingly to the incident.
However, there is no confirmation or comment issued regarding this video by Delhi Police. Several users criticised the video and commented that the video showing the speeding Thar was being circulated with the aim of saving the municipal authorities and coaching classes.
