Ghatkopar hoarding collapse: Engineer remanded in Crime Branch custody

Manoj Sanghu, the structural engineer, on the premises of the esplanade court on Friday

On Friday, the SIT presented BMC-approved structural engineer Manoj Sanghu before the esplanade court, which remanded him in the Crime Branch's custody until June 5.

The Crime Branch stated that he issued a structural certificate for the Ghatkopar hoarding despite knowing its size was larger than what was mandated by the BMC. It is also investigating whether he issued the structural certificate on someone else's instructions.

Meanwhile, Janhavi Marathe, former director of Ego Media, who had applied for anticipatory bail before the sessions court, had her request rejected.
