City police commissioner Sudheer Kumar Reddy CH said the Mangaluru South police had registered a case against event organiser Dinakar Shetty and building owner Parikshith Rai on a complaint filed by the deceased’s father, Mohammed Eliyas. The building was in poor condition, according to the complaint. The deceased was identified as Moideen Shammas, a student of a private college in the city. The incident occurred when students had gathered at a hall in Emmekere for the installation of office-bearers of the All College Students’ Association. Five students were injured in the incident. Despite this, the event was allegedly allowed to be held with a large number of students without adequate safety measures. The complaint further alleged that the organiser was aware of the condition of the building but failed to inform the students or take necessary precautions. The parapet wall along a passage on the first floor subsequently collapsed, seriously injuring Moideen Shammas, who later succumbed to his injuries. Download the TOI App.
