In Mumbai, Kurla East's Shamim Tower Kurla Kadam Co-operative Housing Society chairman Taufiq Asfaq Khan, secretary Asif Mansur Khan and treasurer Mola Usen Patel have been charged with negligence in the death of 11-year-old Zain Tahsildar, who fell onto a lift cabin last July. The incident occurred when the lift door suddenly opened on the 10th floor, causing Zain to lose his balance and fall onto the lift cabin stationed on the third floor.
Despite three months of investigation, police have filed charges under Sections 106(1), 125, 289 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The Electrical Inspector had previously deemed Lift No. 02 unfit for use due to maintenance deficiencies.
