The Mumbai Crime Branch arrested the main accused, Bhavesh Bhinde, the owner of the ad agency that installed the billboard, which collapsed in Ghatkopar East. Bhinde was hiding in a restaurant in Udaipur. The Crime Branch took him into transit remand and is bringing him to Mumbai.

Confirming the development, a senior Crime Branch official told mid-day, “After the tragedy in Ghatkopar, Bhinde went underground. He left Mumbai in his BMW car and reached Pune. Later, he abandoned his car in Pune, and hired a tourist vehicle to reach Ahmedabad and then reached Udaipur, from where we arrested him on Thursday evening.”
