The high court has ordered notice to the state government, BMRCL and others in a petition seeking Rs 10 crore as compensation for the death of a software engineer and her child after the staging column of the metro pillar collapsed on them near the HBR Layout work site.
The petition was filed by Lohitkumar V Sulakhe.
The incident took place on January 10, 2023, when Lohitkumar’s wife Tejaswini Sulakhe and son Vihaan, both wearing helmets, were on a motorcycle on Nagawara Ring Road.
