Investigators are examining available information and following multiple leads. A lookout circular has also been issued as police continue efforts to trace the owner, identified as Hariram.
Investigation Into The Building Collapse
The building was being used as a PG accommodation and reportedly housed students. Authorities are now examining the property’s construction and structural condition.
Investigators are also looking into repair work reportedly being carried out in the basement before the collapse. Officials will examine whether the work had any role in weakening the structure.
Authorities Probe Safety And Construction Violations
Officials are checking whether the property had any unauthorised construction or structural changes. They are also examining whether required safety standards and permissions were followed.
The Delhi government has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the incident. Authorities are also checking other buildings in the area to identify possible safety violations.
Focus On Safety Of PG Buildings
The collapse has raised fresh questions about safety of old buildings being used as PG accommodations. Authorities are expected to take action if violations are established during the investigation.
The rescue operation remains underway at the site. Police are also continuing their investigation to establish what led to sudden collapse and fix responsibility.
Questions Over Building Safety
The tragedy has once again highlighted concerns about building safety in densely populated parts of Delhi. Old structures used for residential purposes can pose additional risks when maintenance is inadequate.
The ongoing investigation is expected to provide more clarity on the exact cause of collapse. Authorities have said action will follow if safety violations are confirmed.
Rescue Operation Remains A Priority
Rescue personnel continue to work carefully because parts of the structure remain unstable. Heavy machinery is being used to clear debris while teams inspect the site.

Repair Work Under Investigation
Investigators are examining repair work that was reportedly underway before collapse. Particular attention is being given to work carried out in the basement area.
Officials are trying to determine whether any structural changes affected building’s stability. The inquiry will also examine whether the work had the required permissions.
Building Structure Comes Under Scanner
The condition of the building is now a key part of the investigation. Officials are checking its age, construction history and any modifications made over the years.
Investigators will also examine whether additional floors or structural alterations were carried out. Any violation found during probe could lead to further action.
