Before the new law is passed and implemented across the national capital, Delhi Mayor Shelly Oberoi stated that the demands of students will be met and representatives from the government will hold a meeting with the students first and then pass a regulation in the Delhi Assembly.

On Saturday, the basement of an IAS coaching centre on Old Rajinder Nagar flooded after rains in the area. The flooding increased after an SUV drove past the road, causing the water to swell and breach the gates of Rau's IAS Study Centre.

Due to the gush of the water, three students and UPSC aspirants drowned in the basement. As per officials, the water levels reached around seven to twelve feet high.

In the latest development, all five accused - four co-owners and the driver of the SUV car have been sent to judicial custody till August 12.
