Delhi: A day after the tragic incident in which three students lost their lives due to the flooding of the basement of an IAS coaching centre in Delhi, the uncle of the girl student Shreya Yadav, who was killed in the incident, claimed that the family was not even informed by the authorities about the death of their daughter and claimed that they came to know about the incident only through the media. He further alleged that he was not allowed to see the face of the deceased for identification and also said that he was shown a paper with Shreya's name written on it.
The deceased student's uncle, who has been identified as Dharmendra Yadav, told ANI, "I did not receive any official information from the coaching centre or the administration. I saw the news and rushed there. When I reached the spot, the DCP asked me to visit Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. I went to the mortuary and asked to see her face for identification, but they refused, citing it as a police matter. They showed me a paper with Shreya Yadav's name written on it."
He informed that he reached the hospital at around 2:30 AM and waited to see the dead body till morning. When he asked the authorities to show the face of the deceased for identification, they asked him to wait till the Investigation Officer arrives. He claimed that they hailed from Ambedkar Nagar and Shreya was admitted to the coaching centre around four to five months ago after paying Rs 1.65 lakh in fees.
He also said, "I was with Shreya during her admission. When news of the students' deaths started coming in, I called the coaching institute. They said they couldn't disclose names but confirmed three deaths. Those who give birth understand the value of life, and it should not be lost due to mismanagement. I demand that a case of culpable homicide be filed against the coaching institute's owner."
