MUMBAI: Nearly 20 days after a 23-year-old woman suffered multiple fractures when a dilapidated iron entrance gate at Sachinam Heights in Tardeo fell on her, the police have registered an FIR against the building’s caretaker for alleged negligence.
She sustained serious injuries after the gate at the main entrance fell on her. Following the incident, Bamji visited the building and checked CCTV footage from its ‘B’ Wing. He observed that the main entrance had a dilapidated iron gate. He subsequently approached the police and provided details of the incident.
The incident took place on August 27, when the woman, Jenny Yazdi Dara Bamji, was returning from the Ambamata Temple on the building premises after offering prayers. The police have booked the building’s caretaker, Vinay Babu Shah, 53, under Section 125(b) (causes grievous hurt by acting so rashly or negligently as to endanger human life or the personal safety of others) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
Shah, who was responsible for maintaining the premises, had allegedly left the iron gate standing without securing or fastening it and without taking necessary safety precautions, according to the complaint. The police said they have issued a notice to Shah directing him to appear before them for further investigation.
