Sarpanch Vivek Chhokra said that this building is in a very dilapidated condition. The iron gutters installed in it had rusted. 10 families live here due to the low rent. The family of the deceased children is from Bihar.
After getting the information about the accident, Faridabad’s Sector 58 police station in-charge, Krishna Kumar, reached the spot and said that all three children were siblings. Their father, Dharmendra, works for a company, while their mother sells goods on a handcart. None of the parents were at home at the time of the incident.
