Police Probe Details PG Operators Linked to Satya Niketan Collapse
Police questioned Shudhanshu Lovneesh after a building collapse in Satya Niketan killed seven people.
He said he and his friend Shubham Tyagi ran paying-guest accommodations there.
Their business used the name Hostel Daze.
Lovneesh said they had operated PGs since 2022.
He currently runs seven PGs nearby.
In August 2025, they leased four floors of one building.
The rent was Rs 1,05,000 per month.
The rent was lower because the building was in poor condition.
Police allege Lovneesh knew construction work was happening but remained unaware that it could affect the whole building.
Police identified Shudhanshu Lovneesh as a PG operator questioned about the collapse that killed seven.
Lovneesh said he graduated from the University of Delhi in 2019.
Since 2022, Lovneesh and Shubham Tyagi have operated PG accommodations under the name Hostel Daze.
Lovneesh presently runs seven PGs in the Satya Niketan area.
The pair leased four building floors in August 2025 for Rs 1,05,000 monthly, reportedly because of the building’s dilapidated condition.
