The LT Marg police have registered two Accidental Death Reports following the collapse of the Bhuleshwar Cha Raja Ganesh idol during a procession on Sunday night, resulting in the loss of two mandal office-bearers' lives. The investigation began with the recording of Aniket Desai's statement, the sculptor who created the 22-foot-tall idol, at around 11 am on Tuesday.
So far, police have recorded statements from around 15 to 20 people, including mandal office-bearers, volunteers, and eyewitnesses present during the ceremony. Desai, who works from a temporary workshop at Bakri Adda, had created the idol as per the mandal's specifications for the first time. He was reportedly not at home when the LT Marg police visited his residence to serve a notice, instructing him to appear for questioning on Tuesday.
