FNCC building collapse: Management questioned by police on crash
Cops seek details of construction contract, funds.
Hyderabad: The west zone police questioned Film Nagar Cultural Centre (FNCC) president and secretary on Monday in connection with the recent building collapse that killed two workers. The police sought details about the construction contract, funds and why the management carried out the work despite having no permission.
Police officials from Banjara Hills said the duo, president K.S. Rama Rao and secretary B. Rajasekhar Reddy appeared before the investigation official as per the notice served to them earlier. The police questioned them for three hours and let them off. There will be more questioning in coming days.
“We have asked them why they went ahead with the construction despite having no permission from the authorities. Other details of the management's involvement in the mishap have also been retrieved. We will question them more in coming days,” said Banjara Hills inspector K. Srinivas, adding that a decision on their arrest will be made soon. The FNCC management had approached the HC to quash the case against them. However, the court asked them to appear before the investigation officials.
The police has booked a criminal case under Sections 304-A (causing death due to rash act or negligence), 338 (inflicting serious injuries through rash or negligent act) and 337 (inflicting injuries through rash or negligent act) against president K.S.
