After a month of investigation, the Dindoshi police finally registered an FIR against an unknown individual for allegedly bursting firecrackers inside Malad-based high-rise Tower 28 society during a wedding procession. A rocket landed in a flat, sparking a fire. However, instead of cooperating with the investigation, the society builder issued a notice to all residents, instructing them to refrain from keeping anything on their balcony or decorating it, threatening to file an FIR and take action for encroaching on the Chajja's space.

The Dindoshi police have yet to recover any evidence, including burnt firecrackers and CCTV footage, from the fire incident. No arrests have been made. The complainant, 64-year-old Pradeep Chaudhary, alleges that the malfunctioning firefighting system is also under police investigation for negligence.
