Investigators of the Delhi paying‑guest building collapse have reported that three trucks of debris were removed and a ground‑floor wall was taken down as part of the probe.
Delhi authorities continue to probe the tragic collapse of a paying‑guest (PG) building that claimed lives earlier this year. The investigation team has now disclosed new forensic details, noting that three trucks loaded with rubble were cleared from the site as part of the evidence‑gathering process.
The report also states that a wall on the ground floor of the structure was dismantled by the investigators to examine construction faults and possible violations of safety norms. Officials say the removal was carried out under strict supervision to preserve any material that could indicate structural weaknesses.
These findings are expected to shape the forthcoming legal and regulatory actions against the building’s owners and contractors. The probe aims to determine whether negligence contributed to the collapse and to prevent similar incidents in the capital.
The Delhi government has pledged to expedite the inquiry and ensure accountability, while families of the victims await answers and justice.
