2017 Ghatkopar Building collapse case: Bombay HC rejects bail plea of accused

Mumbai, July 26: Bombay High Court on Thursday rejected bail applications of accused Sunil Shitap and interior designer Ranjeet Agale in connection with 2017 Ghatkopar building collapse incident.

The Court observed that 'serious complicity has been brought on record and thus they don't deserve to be released on bail'.

Shitap and interior designer Angale were arrested days after the collapse under the charges of culpable homicide.

Earlier, they tried for bail from Sessions Court in October 2017 but were denied. Later they approached the Bombay High Court, where some interveners opposed their bail pleas along with prosecution. Eight family members of the victims of this tragedy and two flat owners had intervened against the bail applications of Shitap and Angale.
