On Saturday, a court dismissed the bail plea of the four co-owners of a coaching centre's basement where three civil services aspirants drowned last month. The decision was made in light of the prosecution's submission regarding the transfer of the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

On Friday, the Delhi High Court transferred the investigation into the drowning incident from the Delhi Police to the CBI to ensure public confidence in the probe.

Additional Sessions Judge Rakesh Kumar, who was hearing the appeal of the basement co-owners—Parvinder Singh, Tajinder Singh, Harvinder Singh, and Sarbjit Singh—against a magisterial court's denial of bail, allowed them to file a new bail plea before the appropriate CBI court.

"We will move a fresh bail plea today before the competent CBI court after getting the (written) order from the court," said advocate Amit Chadha, the counsel for the co-owners of the basement.
