A police officer said, "When officer Mane reached the spot, he saw that the roof had been broken due to stone-pelting. Fortunately, the workers inside were unharmed and continued with their work. During further enquiry, security manager Vijay Menon informed officer Mane that he suspected the stone had been thrown from a neighbouring building. The staff believed that an unidentified person had deliberately thrown the stone from the nearby Adani Heights building, causing damage to the metro shed."
Accordingly, Mane lodged a complaint with the Amboli police, and a search for the accused is currently underway.
A police officer added, "We have registered an FIR against an unknown person for allegedly throwing a large stone at the Metro One car shed, damaging its roof. The FIR has been filed under Section 78 (1) of the Metro Railways (Operation and Maintenance) Act, as well as Sections 125 and 324(4) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Act."
