MCD seals basements of 13 civil services institutes in Delhi's Old Rajinder Nagar. The crackdown comes following massive protests by students in the Old Rajendra Nagar. Meanwhile, as per reports, the deaths of three aspirants occurred due to a lack of drainage and safety measures and the illegal use of the basement for commercial activities.

According to the FIR, Abhishek Gupta admitted there was no drainage system in coaching center's basement, leading to the deaths of three aspirants.
