Father of Mira Road Crane Collapse Victim Begins Hunger Strike Demanding Builder's Accountability
Aziz Khokhar, father of 21-year-old Mohammad Muzamil Khokhar who died in a crane collapse at an under-construction building in Mumbai's Mira Road, has begun an indefinite hunger strike demanding that the developer, JP Infra, be named as an accused. The police have filed an FIR against the contractor, sub-contractors, site supervisors, and crane operator under Section 106 (causing death by negligence), but the family alleges the builder was deliberately excluded. Local residents support the protest, which calls for stronger legal action reflecting the incident's severity.
