Navi Mumbai: A Dronagiri builder has been booked by the Uran police for safety and security lapses leading to the death of a worker after falling from the second floor.

The victim, identified as Vinod Nisad (40), was originally a resident of Maharajganj district, Uttar Pradesh.Many high-rise buildings are under construction in the urbanised areas of the taluka.

Further, such incidents have left many of their families on the road for survival.Nisad’s death was reported in a building constructed in sector 47. He was into tile-cutting work but lost balance on the second floor before falling into the lift pit. He sustained head and other grievous injuries before being rushed to a hospital. There was allegedly no safety belt or other safety equipment for the workers at the site.After a post-mortem was conducted, his body was handed over to his relatives. The developer Nimishbhai Vora has been booked for causing death by negligence and under other relevant sections of the BNS by the Uran police. Further investigation is on into the accidental death.
