A day after two girders of the under-construction Eastern Freeway Project collapsed and killed a labourer, an FIR was registered against personnel of the company M/s Simplex Infrastructure Ltd. It was reportedly booked under IPC sections 337 (causing hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others), 338 (causing grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of others), 304A (causing death by negligence), 427 (mischief causing damage) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention).

On November 3, 2011, a portion of the Lalbaug flyover, under construction, collapsed in Parel. The company responsible, you ask? It was Simplex Infrastructure. In May 2008, one person was killed and an auto-rickshaw driver injured after a crane at a Metro site lost balance and tilted over. The contractor at the site — take a guess. In 2009, Simplex Infrastructure was penalised for an accident at a Metro construction site in Andheri (East) after a metal scaffolding collapsed, injuring two workers.
