Days after the Kesarbai building in Dongri collapsed leaving 13 dead and 10 others injured, the Dongri police have begun an investigation into the incident and have issued notices to the trustees of the society, the BMC and MHADA. Based on their preliminary findings, the police say that it is likely that BMC will be held responsible for the deaths since the structure that collapsed was possibly illegal.

Senior inspector of Dongri police station Sandeep Bhagdikar said that while notices were sent to BMC and MHADA on July 17, summons were issued to the trustees of the Bai Hirbai Rahimbhai Aloo Paroo Trust on Thursday. "We have registered 13 accidental death reports after the collapse and are recording the statements of the parties concerned," said Bhagdikar.
