Delhi PG Collapse: ‘Dog-Walker’ MCD Chief Under Scrutiny As Resignation Calls Rise

Seven people, including five students, died after a boys’ PG collapsed in Delhi’s Satya Niketan. The building owner and his family are in custody, while several MCD officials have been suspended. But questions remain over the wider chain of accountability — from inspections and permissions to alleged unauthorised construction. MCD Commissioner Sanjeev Khirwar’s role has come under scrutiny, while questions have also been raised over local political oversight. A court-monitored inquiry is underway, and the Delhi LG has ordered safety audits and action against unauthorised floors. But can suspensions and arrests answer the bigger questions? Who knew? Who failed to act? And who allowed the alleged death trap to exist in the first place?
