Earlier on June 27, the residents protested outside BMC’s office in Wadala demanding the arrest of Dosti builders’ Deepak Garodia, Kisan Deepak Garodia, and Rajesh Shah.

The petition was filed on Friday in Bombay HC and the residents are demanding compensation for the loss of their building urging to stop the construction work. If the construction work is continued, their building could face similar damage in the future, according to the residents.
