A week after a 10-year-old boy from Nalasopara in a mishap in the building elevator, the police on Monday booked two officials of the housing society.
On November 19, a 10-year-old boy, Ali Rashid Shaikh, had gone to the first floor of the building to call out to his friends. Just as the class V student of St Aloysius High School was getting into the elevator, he was crushed as the lift started hurtling downwards. Though people on the first floor could hear his screams, they could not reach out to rescue the child.
Assistant inspector Maruti Khedkar of Nalasopara police station confirmed the development. “We have booked the society chairman Dr Sanjay Marwankar and society secretary Shivkumar Singh and a person from Das Lift Electronic Works for negligence under section 304 A (causing death by negligence), 34 (common intent) of the Indian Penal code and will soon make the arrests.
