Mumbai Court Denies Builder Pre-Arrest Bail in Jogeshwari Death Case

The judge cited photographic evidence showing missing protections for pedestrians.

Overview

  • The Dindoshi sessions court rejected developer Bhavesh Gulabchand Sanghrajka’s anticipatory bail on October 29 in the case of a fatal debris fall in Jogeshwari.
  • Police have registered an FIR under Section 105 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita after a cement block from the site killed 22-year-old banker Sanskruti Amin on October 8.
  • Court findings noted torn safety nets, heavy debris hanging from the structure, and the absence of a temporary pedestrian arcade documented in photos.
  • The judge recorded that the probe is at a preliminary stage and said custodial interrogation of the applicant may be required, with the site’s manager and supervisor already under arrest.
  • The order also criticized the applicant for not disclosing a parallel plea in the Bombay High Court, as family members held protests and reported he could be absconding.
