The three were arrested in connection with the collapse of the five-storey building in Satya Niketan on September 6. Hariram, 81, is a retired Indian Air Force sergeant and had electricity connections for two floors of the building in his name. Mahesh, 52, runs a hardware and paint shop and has two children.
Police said the property was being managed and run by Hariram and Mahesh. Delhi Police had sought three days’ custody of the three accused, saying they needed to question them as part of the investigation and trace another PG operator, Shubham Tyagi. Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Kautuk Bhardwaj granted two days’ police custody after hearing the submissions of the police and defence counsel Yashpal Singh. The investigation into the circumstances leading to the collapse is continuing.
