The three-storey residential building had collapsed in Ghatkopar on July 25.

The building collapse had claimed 17 lives.

Shitap was arrested and charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder in connection with the case. He was the owner of a nursing home on the ground floor of the four-storey dilapidated private building, Sai Darshan, in Ghatkopar, which had 15 flats.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had announced an ex-gratia of Rs 5 lakh each to the kin of the deceased.

The government has assured that redevelopment permissions required to rebuild Sai Darshan building would be granted on priority.
