Police have arrested a subcontractor for failing to alert the authorities about Kamal Dhyani falling into a pit leading to his death, police said.

DCP (West) Darade Bhaskar said, Rajesh Kumar Prajapati , 47, knew that someone had fallen into the pit, hours before the matter came to the police’s notice.


Call detail records showed that he was informed about the incident at around 12.22 am. 



However, Prajapati neither informed the police nor any emergency authority. Information about the incident reached police only the next morning at around 8 am.

According to a senior official, an ex-gratia of Rs 10 lakh is likely to be given to the victim’s family soon. The family has alleged negligence on DJB’s part and also suspects foul play.
