The vendor, who had installed the lift at the Bhau Daji Lad Museum that claimed a life, has been found guilty. Mumbai City Electric Inspector (Lift), investigating the irregularities has found discrepancies on the part of Expert Equipment who allowed an "unconventional" hydraulic lift to be used as a passenger lift and didn't tell the museum authorities to get it licensed.

The Electric Inspector (Lift) department is now in the process of issuing a show-cause notice to the vendor seeking an explanation from them before submitting a final report to the police.
