Alleging licence to the builder was given by (former CM Bhupinder Singh) Hooda, Khattar said, “We will hand over the matter to the CBI.” Hooda replied, “Arrest me if I have done anything wrong…You can’t blame us for your faults.” Two women were killed after roof of a sixth-floor apartment at Chintels Paradiso in Sector 109 came down on February 10, triggering collapse of roofs and floors under it.

The incident was brought to focus in the House after Khattar targeted the previous Congress government on some other issue leading to a heated argument between the ruling party and the Opposition.

After Khattar said the Congress regime was hit by various scams, Hooda alleged, “Corruption is rampant in this regime and there has been one scam after another.”
