Victim’s Father Alleges Repeated Safety Violations At Construction Site
The father of the victim, Sanskruti Amin, claimed that this not the first incident and previously too, there have been mishaps due to the construction.
The incident occurred around 9.30am on Wednesday when Amin, a bank employee, left her residence at Thakur Road, Majaswadi, for office. A concrete brick from the 21st floor fell on her head, causing her death.
In the complaint, her father, Anil, 56, stated that the construction company had not taken proper safety precautions, which killed her only child.

In the FIR, he alleged that five days ago, a large portion of plywood came down crashing and damaged the roof of a house. A complaint was made too, said Anil.
Also Watch:
“There have been several instances in the last six months when construction materials fell from the site. Six months ago, some suffered minor injuries from stones and pebbles during drilling,” he added.
