In Mumbai, police have detained the owner of a massive poster that fell on a gas station and killed 16 people, according to press reports.
The giant hoarding fell during the coastal megacity’s devastating rain and dust storms, causing another 75 people to be saved from the wreckage of Monday’s ( May 13 ) accident.
Bhavesh Bhinde, the owner of the billboard, is facing a criminal homicide charge from Mumbai police after escaping Mumbai in the wake of the decline.
According to police mutual director Lakhmi Gautam, who was present late on Thursday in the tourist destination of Udaipur, which is 800 kilometers north of the city, he was detained.
According to Gautam,” Bhinde has been nabbed from Udaipur where he was staying in a lodge under the name of his relative.”
Our team had been attempting to locate him for some time, and we finally located him on Thursday evening.
AFP on Friday could not be reached for comment.
The cyclone that hit Mumbai on Monday wiped out trees, caused small energy outages in various neighborhood boundaries, and severely damaged the town’s train network.
Mumbai’s international airports likewise temporarily grounded planes with at least 15 flights diverted.
In order to prevent a repeat of the incident in Mumbai, Eknath Shinde, the deputy minister of Maharashtra state, before this year ordered an assessment of all Mumbai posters.
