The Amboli police in Mumbai have registered an FIR against an unknown person for allegedly throwing a large stone at the DN Nagar Metro car shed in Andheri West on Tuesday, police said.
The incident resulted in major damage to the roof of the metro car shed, officials said.
According to the police, the FIR was registered based on a complaint by former police sub-inspector Shashikant Mane, who now serves as a security officer at Mumbai Metro One. Following the complaint, Amboli police have initiated an investigation into the matter.
The police officials, the incident occurred on June 3 at around 1:45 p.m. Security officer Mane received a call from the Metro Control Room informing him that a glass panel on the roof of the Mumbai Metro One car shed had been damaged. Mane then visited the site and questioned the workers present.
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.
