Absconding Delhi PG owner Hariram Gupta was held in Rajasthan’s Bhiwadi on Monday, a day after a decades-old multi-storey building collapsed in the Satya Niketan area, killing at least seven people and injuring several others.
How did police catch him?
Police had conducted raids across Delhi, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh as part of the hunt for Hariram. The teams comprised personnel from the local district police, Special Staff and other operational units, with each team being led by an officer of Additional DCP rank. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta visited the site to assess the ongoing search and rescue operation following the building collapse.
Delhi Police had formed 10 separate teams to apprehend Hariram, the alleged owner of the building that collapsed in Satya Niketan. Officials said 12 people have so far been pulled out of the debris, including seven who were killed in the incident.
