A Delhi court has remanded six individuals accused in the recent coaching centre deaths to four days in the custody of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The decision was made on Friday following a hearing where the CBI presented its case for a deeper investigation into the tragic incident.
The accused, including the coaching centre’s owner and key staff members, were arrested after multiple students lost their lives under mysterious circumstances. The deaths have sparked widespread outrage and calls for a thorough investigation into the safety standards and operational practices of such centres, which cater to thousands of students preparing for competitive exams.
The CBI took over the investigation after initial inquiries by local authorities raised concerns about potential lapses and cover-ups. In court, the CBI argued that the four-day custody was necessary to interrogate the accused, examine documents, and uncover the full scope of the alleged negligence and misconduct.
Families of the victims have expressed relief at the CBI’s involvement, hoping that the investigation will bring justice to their loved ones. The court’s decision marks a critical step in the ongoing probe, as the CBI seeks to unravel the factors leading to the tragedy and hold those responsible accountable.
The next hearing is scheduled for next week, where the CBI is expected to provide an update on the progress of the investigation.
