Delhi Police have arrested Sudhanshu, one of the operators of the “Hostel Daze” paying guest facility, after a five-storey building collapsed in Delhi’s Satya Niketan on September 6, killing seven people, including five students. Sudhanshu and his business partner Shubham Tyagi had leased the property in August 2025; Tyagi remains absconding. Police are investigating ongoing basement and ground-floor repair work, the lease agreement and the building’s structural safety. The property owners and a labour contractor have also been arrested. Authorities are examining possible construction violations, while the Delhi government has ordered safety inspections of PG accommodations across the city. (PC: The Hindu)
