News Topical, Digital Desk : 25-year-old Kamal, a bike rider, died in a deep open pit dug by the Delhi Jal Board in Janakpuri. The accident occurred on Thursday night (February 5) while Kamal was returning home from Rohini to his home in Kailashpuri. The family spent the entire night running around police stations, but in the morning, his body and bike were recovered from the pit.
Following the death of 25-year-old Kamal, the Congress party has launched a scathing attack on the BJP government in Delhi. Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee President Devendra Yadav, calling the incident a clear example of government negligence, demanded an immediate compensation of ₹1 crore to the deceased's family. He also demanded the immediate resignation of Janakpuri MLA and Minister Ashish Sood.
Delhi Jal Board's negligence led to the death of a young man - Devendra Yadav
Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee President Devendra Yadav said that the biker fell straight into a ditch in the dark of night. There were no barricades, no warning signs. This death was entirely due to the negligence of the Delhi Jal Board. If there had been barricades, a young man would not have lost his life.
Taking aim at Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, he said that under a government that boasts of a "developed Delhi," the roads are filled with potholes. Last year, 89 deaths occurred due to waterlogged potholes and drains. Road accidents claimed over 1,600 lives. Eleven people also died during the 2025 monsoon season.
CM should dismiss the responsible officers- Congress
The Congress leader further stated that no lessons have been learned from the death of Yuvraj Mehta in Noida . Projects worth crores are announced, but the situation on the ground is worsening. Devendra Yadav demanded that the Chief Minister immediately dismiss the officers responsible, conduct a high-level investigation, and seek the resignation of Minister Ashish Sood.
