Bhavesh Bhinde, prime accused in the fatal Ghatkopar hoarding collapse, was granted bail by the sessions court, five months after the incident took place.

On May 13, a hoarding had collapsed on a petrol pump in Ghatkopar, claiming 17 lives and leaving 80 injured. Bhinde—owner of Ego media, the advertising agency that had installed the billboard—was arrested on May 17 under section 304-A (culpable homicide not amounting to murder) of the IPC. Bhinde was granted bail on a Rs 1 lakh cash bond. The detailed bail order is still awaited.
