NEW DELHI: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has claimed that a mobile phone jammer was deployed at the site of the Satya Niketan building collapse to stop trapped students and locals from sharing information about the incident and to hide the actual casualty count.“How would someone trapped in a cavity of debris call for help when mobile signals have been jammed? Who ordered the installation of mobile jammers at Satya Niketan PG students' building? Why did NDRF take 2-3 hours to reach in the middle of Delhi? Why were government ambulances two hours late? Will Delhi University students take up this matter?” Delhi AAP state president Saurabh Bharadwaj was quoted as saying by ANI.“It is often seen in incidents such as building collapses that people trapped under the rubble call their relatives, share their location and seek help.
