KALYAN: A day after a 26-year-old labourer died after falling from the 12th floor of an under-construction building in Ambernath, police booked the developer and contractor for negligence.
Police said Sanjay Vishwakarma, a resident of Sant Ravidas Nagar in UP, was living in Ambernath. Vishwakarma on Tuesday was doing work at Sevoday Nagar, when he lost his balance, fell into the duct of a lift, and died. Ambernath police initially registered an accidental death report but later found that contractor Mohammed Shaikh and developer Sunil Tharwani had not provided workers safety equipment.
On basis of finding the victim’s brother Manoj’s statement, police booked Tharwani and Shaikh under sections 304 (A) (negligence causing death) and 34 (common intention) of Indian Penal Code.
Sub-inspector Shantaram Rajput said, “As per findings we booked the duo for the death, and a further probe is on.”
