Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) (West Delhi), Sharad Bhaskar, told reporters that all aspects are being investigated, including the safety protocols that should have been in place at the ongoing DJB repair project. He confirmed that the pit was part of an active Delhi Jal Board project. He stated that authorities are now focusing on accountability. The police will investigate all stakeholders involved in the DJB work to determine whether there was negligence in barricading or in warning signs.
The investigation in the case is underway.
Kamal Dhyani, a resident of Janak Puri, was riding his motorcycle home when he fell into the deep pit dug for repair work by the Delhi Jal Board (DJB). Police confirmed the identification of the deceased.
Family alleges negligence by local administration
Naresh Chand, father of the deceased, has alleged that negligence by the Delhi administration and the Delhi Jal Board caused his son’s death. He said, “It is the Delhi Jal Board’s and the Administration’s mistake. Until a few days ago, there was no pit at the spot.”
Also, the brother of the deceased has accused the police of not providing any assistance to the family. He said that the family went to six police stations seeking information about his brother but received an update only when they called Dhyani on his phone, and an official answered and informed them of his death.
The family has alleged that the police ignored the urgency of the situation and failed to take action timely. The delay in tracking the exact location of Kamal’s mobile phone during the search led to his death, claims the family.

Meanwhile, political parties have begun to point fingers at each other for another life lost due to negligence.
Attacking the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led central government, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader and former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said, it is not an accident, but a murder caused by extreme negligence.
He posted on X: “This is not an accident, but murder. The BJP has learned nothing even from the Noida incident. Extreme negligence and an utterly irresponsible attitude have now become the hallmark of BJP governments, and it is the common people who are paying the price for it. May God grant strength to that family which lost their child due to the government’s negligence.”
Delhi Urban Development Minister Ashish Sood will be visiting the site of accident on 07 February and conduct an inspection of the ongoing repair work.
The Delhi government has assured that a strict action will be taken against those responsible.
