FIR Filed Against Contractor and Others After Mira Road Crane Collapse Kills One
A crane collapsed on Thursday at an under-construction multi-level parking building in Mira Road, Mumbai, killing 21-year-old Muzammil Khokar and injuring two others. The police registered an FIR against the contractor, subcontractor, safety engineer, and others for causing death by negligence after a preliminary inquiry.
