A 45-year-old supervisor at a Slum Rehabilitation Authority (SRA) site in Worli has been tragically murdered, with police arresting three teenage suspects in the aftermath of the crime. The supervisor, a seasoned professional, was discovered late at night in a secluded section of the site, showing signs of violent assault. Initial reports suggest that the supervisor may have been confronted by the teenagers, who were allegedly attempting to steal valuable construction materials.
Investigators have pieced together evidence from surveillance footage, interviews with workers, and forensic analysis of the crime scene. Police spokespersons have confirmed that the suspects were apprehended after they were seen loitering around the site earlier in the evening. The teenagers, aged between 15 and 17, are currently under questioning.
This case has drawn attention to the growing problem of theft and violence at construction sites in Mumbai, where workers often face grave risks due to insufficient security measures. Local unions have demanded more stringent policies to safeguard the lives of construction workers, and advocacy groups have called for stronger penalties for crimes committed against workers in vulnerable settings.
