Overview
- The collapse inside the Colaba police headquarters on Wednesday injured Anil Bhagoji Gore, who was declared dead at St. George’s Hospital.
- Officials said a large Gulmohar branch broke and also crushed four parked vehicles inside the secure campus.
- Colaba police registered an Accidental Death Report after emergency crews arrived, and investigators are reviewing the sequence of events.
- Mumbai’s tree department said the fallen limb had rotted from the inside, leaving much of the tree hollow and unstable.
- Civic officials said the tree is under PWD control rather than the city corporation, a jurisdiction gap that could shape accountability for upkeep on government premises.
