The Dadar police on Wednesday arrested the director of Neha Developers on charges of culpable homicide after a 27-year-old gym trainer fell to his death in the lift shaft from the eighth floor of a building in Dadar West.

Prashant Sawant, 27, had fallen into the shaft on November 2, when he had gone to his girlfriend's home at Neha Galaxy on Sayani Road.

The Dadar police arrested on Wednesday developer Shihir Shivapurkar, 61. They produced him in Bhoiwada Court, which sent him to judicial custody. Another accused, the contractor of the building, is still at large. "The building has four lifts, of which two are working. While one is used by residents, the other is used to carry building material," said a police officer.
