The Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Mumbai Crime Branch, which is probing the hoarding collapse in Ghatkopar that led to the deaths of 17 people and injuries to many others, has written to the BMC seeking details of the licensing authority. They have also requested information about the officials responsible for addressing illegal constructions within their jurisdictions.

Additionally, the SIT has summoned the ACP Admin of the Government Railway Police (GRP) to understand how permission was granted to Ego Media Private Limited, owned by accused Bhavesh Bhinde, by the former commissioner of GRP, Quaiser Khalid, despite knowing that the land belongs to the state government and that the BMC is the licensing authority.
