Town Planner Questions Certification Authenticity In Gurgaon’s High-Rise Collapse

New Delhi: Barely a few days after the residential tower partial collapsed in Gurgaon and killed two, the cops have filed a new case on the basis of a complaint by the district town planner. The town planner questioned the certification authenticity regarding building design and structure.

A case under various sections of the Indian Penal Code relating to cheating, forgery and criminal conspiracy has been filed against many individuals including Chintels India Managing Director Prashant Solomon.

“The mishap has proved that the certificate of Structure Engineer and Proof Consultant and work of Contractor is not credit worthy and rather fraudulent,” the FIR was quoted as saying by NDTV.

The FIR named the Structure Engineer, Design Consultant, Architect and contractor company. The FIR also names “persons who were getting major addition/alterations on 6th floor as per local enquiry”.

It may be recalled that a large chunk of the sixth floor of tower D had fallen all the way to the first floor, claiming two lives.
