Mumbai police have registered an FIR against Shapoorji Pallonji Company officials in connection with a fire at a temporary labour camp in Mulund East. The fire, which occurred on October 8, 2026, at a ground-plus-two-storey structure housing around 300 construction workers, did not result in any casualties. However, it caused extensive damage and was found to have been caused by LPG cylinder explosions.
The FIR accuses Nilesh Tukaram Khot, Administrative Head of Shapoorji Pallonji Company, and Satish Jadhav, Site Safety Officer, of alleged negligence in ensuring worker safety and preventing the fire from spreading. The camp, built to accommodate workers at the BMC's Project Affected Persons (PAP) housing project, reportedly lacked adequate fire safety arrangements, with unpaved access roads and loose electrical wires at the site.
The Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has also issued a notice to East Pune Reality LLP, alleging construction violations under the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888.
