A case has been registered against a jeweller for allegedly carrying out illegal structural modifications at a store owned by him on the ground floor
MUMBAI: A case has been registered against a jeweller for allegedly carrying out illegal structural modifications at a store owned by him on the ground floor of the Borivali building, which collapsed killing 28 people.
Rescue operations have, meanwhile, been called off as there are no more people trapped under the debris, Additional Commissioner of Police (north region) Suresh Khopde said.
"We have registered a case against one Kailash Jain, who is the owner of Vardhaman Jewellery store on the ground floor of the building, for carrying out illegal structural changes which might have resulted in the collapse," he told.
"Jain has also lost three of his relatives in the tragedy and, therefore, will be arrested only after he has finished all necessary rituals," Khopde said.
The incident, which took place on Wednesday evening, has claimed 28 lives and left 17 persons injured.
Fire officials said most of the debris of the Laxmi Chhaya building in the north west suburb of Borivali had been cleared and rescue operations have been completed.
Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh on Thursday ordered a magisterial probe into the building collapse and the state government has formed a technical committee to probe into the incident.
Kolkata, July 20 (PTI) The Calcutta High Court on Friday stayed the BCCI suspension on Jagmohan Dalmiya and directed that the former cricket board chief was free to contest the coming Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) polls.
Upholding Dalmiya's application against the suspension imposed by the Sharad Pawar-led regime in December 2006, Justice Indira Banerjee observed that the rule under which he was suspended was not registered and as such it was illegal.
Following the ruling, Dalmiya is now free to contest the July 28 elections of the Cricket Association of Bengal, with Justice Banerjee, in her order, saying now there was no bar on the cricekt administrator from contesting any elections of BCCI or CAB.
The deadline for filing of nominations for the CAB elections expires at 1600 hrs today.
The Cricket Board had slapped the suspension on Dalmiya alleging his involvement in misappropriation of funds of the Pakistan-India-Lanka Committee (PILCOM), the organising body of the 1996 World Cup held in the subcontinent.
Following his suspension, Dalmiya resigned as CAB president and Prasun Mukherjee, also the Kolkata Police Commissioner, was elected unopposed as the new chief of the association earlier this year.
Mukherjee, who had lost the presidential race in a bitterly-contested CAB polls to Dalmiya in July last year, is seeking re-election to the top job.
