A 75-year-old man died after part of the first-floor slab of a ground-plus-one (G+1) residential structure collapsed at Tulshipada, Patkar Compound, Bhandup West, around 9:45 am on Saturday, April 11, 2026. He was taken to a nearby hospital and declared dead. Authorities suspect structural weakness and are inspecting nearby buildings as part of the investigation.

Bhandup police registered a case against Abhayjeet Sakalnarayan Dubey of Sudhanshu Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd., alleging he cheated a Mulund steel trader and family of nearly ₹6.38 crore through commercial shops in Aniraj Tower Co-operative Housing Society, Bhandup West, and steel dealings.

The family bought five shops for ₹4.66 crore under registered agreements dated October 11, 2022, with possession promised by December 2025. They separately supplied about ₹3.56 crore of steel on credit; nearly ₹15 lakh allegedly remains unpaid.

In 2024, they allegedly discovered four shops had been merged and sold to Dr Vaghela. The family sought about ₹5.70 crore at prevailing market value. After Deepak Salot cancelled one agreement on July 6, 2024, Dubey transferred ₹2.47 crore on July 23. The family alleges a July 9 agreement had already sold the merged unit to Dr Nandini Naresh Vaghela and Dr Naresh Suresh Vaghela for ₹5.75 crore, plus ₹1 crore cash; market value was about ₹7 crore.

A shop bought for ₹49.5 lakh in October 2022 was allegedly resold to Hanmant Pofale for ₹52.55 lakh in October 2023 before cancellation. Police allege ₹2.34 crore was withheld on three shops and two other units worth over ₹4.04 crore misappropriated. An FIR was registered under relevant BNS sections; investigation is ongoing.

Bhandup police booked Sharma Construction Company owner Vinod Sharma and associates Narendra Kataria and Abdul over the alleged January 29, 2026 assault of 65-year-old society member Ramesh Prakash Mohan. Mohan owns an ancestral flat in Badal Co-operative Housing Society, a 16-flat building in Anand Nagar, Village Road, Bhandup West, which is more than 45 years old.

Society members had agreed to redevelopment, and committee members submitted a proposal to the Slum Rehabilitation Authority in 2022 in favour of Sharma Construction Company. Mohan objected and filed a civil suit on October 7, 2023. A December 23, 2025 court order reportedly restrained demolition and construction. The FIR alleges the developer disconnected water and electricity and pressured residents to vacate; Mohan and four other members refused, and Mohan had not signed a development agreement.

After an attempted pipeline removal on January 28, Sharma and the two associates allegedly assaulted Mohan at his residence the next day, striking him with a wooden stick and threatening to kill him. He was treated at Agarwal Hospital and admitted to Aastha Hospital, both in Mulund. Police registered a case under relevant Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita sections and are investigating.
