MUMBAI: Four days after Aditya Dube, 7, fell to his death from the 6th-floor restaurant It's Mirchi, at Juhu's Ramee Guestline, the BMC took action. A demolition squad comprising 60 staff razed the rooftop restaurant on Wednesday.
Although the BMC had served a notice to the unauthorised hotel on March 16 last year, senior officials allege that at the time, two Congress MLAs had pressurised them to go slow on the demolition.
The police will be questioning the Ramee Group's board of directors, who they say are responsible for negligence. The hotel did not have valid licences or NoCs.
