Court Extends Custody of Six Accused in Delhi PG Building Collapse

A Delhi court has extended the judicial custody of six accused persons in the ongoing investigation into a building collapse at a paying guest facility in the capital. The extension comes as authorities continue their probe into the incident and circumstances surrounding the structure's failure.

The property in question was leased to PG operators Shubham Tyagi and Sudhanshu in August 2025, after which they began operating it as a paying guest accommodation under the commercial name 'Hostel Daze'. The facility had been functioning as rental accommodation when the structural failure occurred.

Court proceedings have indicated that multiple parties may be culpable in the incident, leading to charges against the six accused individuals. Investigators are examining factors including construction standards, maintenance practices, and compliance with building safety regulations at the facility.

The extension of custody by the judicial magistrate suggests the investigation remains active, with authorities seeking to establish accountability and determine the root causes of the collapse. Such incidents have renewed focus on regulatory oversight of rental accommodation facilities operating across Delhi's residential areas.
