NEW DELHI: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Delhi president Saurabh Bhardwaj on Tuesday alleged that senior BJP leaders were the “real owners” of paying guest (PG) accommodations in Satya Niketan, days after a five-storey building housing a PG collapsed in the area, killing seven people. Bhardwaj also alleged that the Delhi government had not released a list of PG owners in Satya Niketan despite repeated demands, and said such a list would expose what he called the “PG mafia”. ASI Praful Toppo, the complainant, said police reached the spot and found the entire building collapsed, with several people gathered around it. Some were trapped after the sudden collapse, the FIR said. The FIR said senior police officers, the district crime team, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) personnel, fire brigade teams, rescue teams and ambulances were rushed to the site.
A local inquiry found that PG accommodation was being operated from the ground-plus-four-storey building, where several students and other people were residing.
