Yadav told ANI, "I received no information officially, either from the coaching institute or administration. I saw the news and approached them, I went to the mortuary and asked them to show me the face for identification but they denied it, saying it was a police case. They showed me a paper where her (Shreya Yadav) name was written."

Yadav further expressed his angst, saying, "When the news of students being deceased started coming up, ... I called the coaching institute, they said we couldn't tell the name but two causalities had happened."

He added, "Those who have given birth, only know the value of life and it shouldn't be lost due to mismanagement. I demand that a case of culpable homicide should be lodged against the owner of the coaching institute."

In response, the Delhi Police have arrested the owner and coordinator of the IAS coaching center. The incident, which also claimed the lives of Tanya Soni from Telangana and Nivin Dalwin from Kerala's Ernakulam, has sparked calls for accountability and stricter regulation of coaching centers.

Pradeep, a relative of Tanya Soni, told PTI, "I received information from other family members that this incident happened. So, I reached here in the morning. Administration needs to take responsibility for it. This is an unfortunate incident and strict action must be taken against (coaching centre's) management. All the institutes running in Rajinder Nagar should be investigated."
