While trying to save a female friend from drowning, a 30-year-old trainee IAS officer drowned at a swimming pool in Foreign Club Institute in south Delhi's Ber Sarai around midnight, Delhi Police said.
Ashish Dahiya was a 2016 batch IAS trainee and a native of Sonepat in Haryana. He and his friends from the IFS and IRS had gathered for a poolside party at the institute on Monday night.
Chinmoy Biswal, Additional DCP (South), said the spot evidence suggested that the revelers consumed alcohol during the party.
"Eyewitnesses have said that a woman trainee slipped into the pool after which several young officers, including Dahiya, tried to rescue her. Though the woman was safely pulled out, the group noticed that Ashish was missing. He was found floating in the pool soon after," said Biswal.
He was brought out of the pool and the station medical officer, Dr Pramyesh Bansal, called. "Attempts were made to administer CPR to the deceased before he was rushed to Fortis Hospital in Vasant Kunj. He was declared brought dead at 12.50 am," said the officer.
The body has been moved to AIIMS for a post-mortem examination. His family has been informed of his death. A team of senior officers is at the institute to collect evidence and to record statements of other eyewitnesses.
