The incident
The three students who lost their lives on Saturday night when water unexpectedly burst into Rau's IAS Study Circle basement were Tania Soni, Shreya Yadav, and Navin Delvin.
Following heavy rain on Saturday, the basement of Rau's IAS Study Circle coaching centre flooded, killing three students, according to a statement made on Sunday. After a seven-hour effort, many more students who were trapped in the flooding basement were rescued.
There are also claims that the biometric system on the door malfunctioned owing to a short circuit caused by water-logging, and the pupils were unable to leave as the water level inside the basement rose.
Institute's statement
Rau's IAS Study Circle said in a press release, "In light of the recent tragic event involving the students of Rajendra Nagar Rau's IAS Study Circle, Rau's IAS Study Circle extends its heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased students, Tanya Soni, Nevin Dalvin, and Shreya Yadav. Our thoughts are profoundly with the families during this incredibly difficult time."
The statement further said, "Fully committed to supporting ongoing investigations into tragic incident."
