Mandal was the one who was looking after the alterations taking place at nursing home which belonged to Shitap.

This arrest was based on the 25 July incident, where a four storey Siddhi Sai building collapsed and claimed 17 lives injuring more than 20 people. PM Narendra Modi, on twitter, has announced the help of INR 2 lakh to the families of the deceased and INR 50,000 for the injured.
