Accidents

The construction of Prestige Shantiniketan witnessed multiple accidents and casualties.

Collapse of Tower C during construction

On 23 October 2008, 14 floors of Tower C collapsed during construction. [4] [5] The incident raised several concerns about safety of the buildings in Prestige Shantiniketan. The body of construction worker Munna Katwa (23), a native of Orissa, was found in the debris on November 12 after a prolonged search of 20 days. The incident prompted Upa-Lokayukta Justice Patri Basavanagoud to take up a suo moto inquiry against the construction company. [6] Mysteriously, a body of a security guard Shivanna (41) who worked at the construction site, was found near the railway tracks a day after the Tower collapse.

Collapse of car parking complex

In 2008, during the construction of car-parking complex, the collapse of the under-construction structure killed 2 workers. The deceased workers were identified as Prasanjith Bohra (26) and Sanjeev Dutt (25), both natives of West Bengal. Several executives of the builder were taken in to custody following the incident.
