A Shiv Sena worker has been arrested for the building collapse in Mumbai's suburb Ghatkopar in which 17 people including an infant were killed on Tuesday.

 A four-storey building came crashing down during renovation of Sunil Shitap's nursing home which was on the ground floor. A case was registered against Mr Shitap for negligence and culpable homicide. 

 "This hospital has been shut for the past two months. He (Sunil Shitap) wants to turn it into a guest house here...," Mr Chedda said. 

 Swati Sunil Shitap had contested and lost the last elections to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), earlier this year on a Shiv Sena ticket.

 Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis visited the accident site late last night and ordered an inquiry. Search and rescue operations are underway amid sporadic rain showers .
