Following the incident, the Mulund Police registered a case of causing death by negligence against contractor Ramzan Shaikh under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

Incident Reported From Sion Hospital

According to the FIR filed by Police Constable Sahebrao Yashwant Ahire, the information about the death was received on November 8 at around 7 a.m., when PSI Vinod Afale, who was on night duty, informed him that a worker undergoing treatment at the Sion Hospital had succumbed to his injuries.

No Safety Gear Provided To Workers
