The family of a man killed in an accident, and social workers, have appealed to the police to act against the contractor who placed a barricade that allegedly caused the mishap. The police had initially arrested the driver of a truck under whose vehicle the man and his friend were crushed.

The family and social workers claimed the accident was caused when an MMRDA barricade fell on the bike that the man and his friend were riding, and the truck driver was innocent. An MMRDA official, however, claimed the barricade belongs to a contractor who is to start work on the subway.
