Attorney General R Venkataramani had submitted that the Centre has constituted a high-level committee to look into the incident.The top court had said the panel can consider intervention at legislative, policy, and administrative levels and can elicit the views of all stakeholders before making its recommendations.The apex court had also said it would be covering the “wider canvas” and would examine the issue at pan-India level to ensure that such incidents were not repeated elsewhere.On August 5, the top court had observed that coaching centres have become “death chambers” and were playing with the lives of students.It had taken cognisance of the matter while hearing a petition filed by an association of coaching centres challenging a December 2023 Delhi High Court order which directed the city’s fire services and the civic body to inspect all coaching centres here to ascertain if they were complying with fire safety norms.The high court had transferred the probe into the deaths of the three students from Delhi Police to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) “to ensure the public has no doubt over the investigation.”The three UPSC aspirants who drowned were Shreya Yadav (25) of Uttar Pradesh, Tanya Soni (25) of Telangana and Nevin Delvin (24) of Kerala.
