New Delhi: Three civil service aspirants died after being trapped in the flooded basement of a coaching centre in Delhi’s Old Rajendra Nagar.

According to sources, they were trapped in the basement of a building where the coaching centre was running when it was suddenly flooded due to heavy rains.

“The unfortunate incident took place at one coaching centre at Old Rajendra Nagar, at the conclusion of search and rescue operations, 3 dead bodies were recovered. Their families have been informed,” Delhi Police posted on X.

“The case has been registered & the investigation is underway,” the post added.
