Mumbai: Amid tight security arrangements for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Mumbai, a stir was created when a youth was detained at the Nita Ambani Cultural Centre (NMACC) in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). He was accused of trying to gain entry by posing as an official of the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO). Another person who came with the youth has also been detained by the police. According to initial information, the detained youth has been identified as 24-year-old Rohan Parekh. It is said that Rohan was carrying an identity card claiming affiliation with the Prime Minister’s Office. During the security check, the card was found to be fake. He claimed to be a PMO official. According to sources, Rohan Parekh identified himself as an official of the Prime Minister’s Office. He was trying to reach the venue of the event on the basis of this claimed identity. Security agencies and Mumbai Police deployed at the scene were already on high alert due to the Prime Minister’s scheduled programme. The security personnel found his movements suspicious and checked his documents. During the check, the PMO identity card in his possession was found suspicious. So, he was taken into custody, and interrogation began. The bodyguard recovered a gun from his possession. A particularly serious aspect of the case is that Rohan Parekh was not alone. He was accompanied by a person who was acting as his bodyguard. Reports suggest that a gun was recovered from the person during the security check. The police have not yet released official information regarding whether the gun is licensed or illegal. Authorities are also investigating whether the person had a valid license and other necessary documents to carry weapons. The Crime Branch has started an investigation. Considering the seriousness of the incident, further investigation of the case has been handed over to the Mumbai Crime Branch. The investigating agencies are working to determine why Rohan Parekh allegedly made a fake PMO identity card and what was his real motive. The investigating agency is also looking into where Rohan obtained the identity card, his connection with the armed person who accompanied him and what places the two had visited before the incident. Security agencies are also questioning him.

Since this is a matter related to an event attended by the Prime Minister, the security agencies are also taking the entire incident very seriously. The police are currently questioning the two detained persons and examining their mobile phones, identity documents and other belongings. Further legal action and details about the confirmation of the charges will be clear only after the investigation is completed.

New Delhi, Sep 8: Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Tuesday that the civic agency will demolish a dilapidated building next to the site of the ill-fated paying guest (PG) building that collapsed in Satya Niketan killing seven people two days ago.

Sharing information about the plan to pull down the unsafe structure, the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) on social media platform X on Tuesday said, “On the instructions of Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has been directed to demolish the dilapidated building adjoining the accident site in the interest of public safety.”

“The belongings of students inside the building are being safely removed by Delhi Fire Service personnel in a systematic manner. All students and local residents are requested to cooperate with the authorities,” the CMO added.

The demolition order comes in the backdrop of the strict action of suspending five civic officials responsible for checking illegal construction in the colony located close to Delhi University’s South Campus in Dhaula Kuan.

Earlier on Tuesday, the Chief Minister visited AIIMS and met students injured in the Satya Niketan building collapse.

During the visit, CM Gupta inquired about their treatment and reassured their family members of full help from the government and doctors.

“The government will bear the full cost of treatment for all the students injured in the accident and will provide them every possible assistance,” CM Gupta said on social media platform X.

In another development, the Delhi Police dismissed claims that mobile phone jammers were installed to restrict communication during the rescue operation at the building collapse site in Satya Niketan.

Issuing a fact check, the police said, “Rumours of mobile jammers at the Satya Niketan rescue site are completely false.”

“Networks are fully operational. Delhi Police, NDRF, and Fire teams are coordinating seamlessly via mobile. Media and citizens are broadcasting live from the site with no disruption,” the police said in a statement.

“Do not spread engagement-driven misinformation. Rely on verified official updates only,” Delhi Police said.

The five-storey building, known as ‘Hostel Daze’, was operating as a boys’ PG, and several students were staying there when the incident took place around 1:30 p.m. on Sunday in which seven people were killed, the police added.

Portions of an adjacent building also collapsed, according to eyewitnesses, adding to concerns over the safety and structural condition of buildings in the area.

Three members of the family associated with the PG building have been arrested.
