A complaint has been lodged against former Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim and two other ex-councillors of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) Anwar Khan and Shams Iqbal in connection with the collapse of an under-construction warehouse in Taratala that killed 16 persons and left 17 others injured.
Police have already arrested Hakim's former officer on special duty (OSD) Kalicharan Banerjee and are investigating the role of the three in the collapse of the warehouse, which was sanctioned by the previous Trinamool Congress-led board of the KMC despite having a faulty design.
Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari had slammed the ex-mayor without naming Hakim in the legislative assembly, saying that no one would be spared. The police have arrested six persons till date, including three members of a family from Bihar's Munger who were killed in the disaster.
