A panchnama, or official inspection of the incident site, was conducted on Sunday morning. We will examine the sequence of events and determine whether negligence on anyone’s part contributed to the mishap. Based on the findings, further legal action will be taken.

Statements of company officials, workers and other witnesses will be recorded, and documents including safety protocols, maintenance records and permissions will be scrutinised. If evidence points to lapses or violations of statutory safety norms, appropriate criminal charges will be invoked against those found responsible,” the officer added.Police officials said that while an ADR is a preliminary legal process for investigating an unnatural death, the inquiry can subsequently lead to the registration of a criminal case if evidence of negligence, omission or violation of safety norms emerges.The probe will also seek to establish whether adequate precautions were taken despite the heavy rainfall and whether the movement of the legacy waste mound could have been anticipated or prevented.Click here to join Express Pune WhatsApp channel and get a curated list of our storiesTags:pune
