Days after three UPSC aspirants died due to drowning in the flooded basement of Rau’s IAS Study Circle in Delhi, rival coaching centres are now poaching students through ‘free education’ and monetary support for the deceased.
For the unversed, three young lives were lost (Shreya Yadav, Tanya Soni, and Nivin Dalwin) after it rained on 27th July in Delhi and flooded the basement of Rau’s IAS Study Circle. The coaching institute had been illegally using the basement as a library.
The three unfortunate students, who were in the basement at that time, had nowhere to escape and died due to drowning. This led to widespread protests by UPSC aspirants against the coaching institute.

In the meantime, rival coaching institutes in Delhi’s Rajendra Nagar and Mukherjee Nagar areas attempted to capitalise on the growing anger among students of Rau’s IAS Study Circle.
Some of them announced a sum of ₹10 lakhs for the families of Shreya Yadav, Tanya Soni, and Nivin Dalwin. The rival coaching centres are also poaching students enrolled at Rau’s IAS Study Circle.
On Friday (2nd August), Sriram’s IAS allowed UPSC aspirants from the Rau’s IAS Study Circle to use their classrooms and libraries. Vajiram and Ravi went a step ahead to induct students from the rival coaching centre for free.
Similar offers have been made by Drishti IAS and Next IAS, besides providing ₹10 lakh compensation to the three deceased students.
