Statue collapse: Sculptor came to Kalyan with intention to surrender before cops, claims his counsel
THANE: Sculptor Jaydeep Apte, who has been arrested in connection with the collapse of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's statue, came to meet his family at Kalyan in Thane district as he wanted to surrender before the police, his counsel has claimed.
Apte, 24, was arrested from near his house in Kalyan on Wednesday night by a team of police.
The police in Sindhudurg district were looking for Apte since the statue made by him and installed at the Rajkot fort in Malvan collapsed on August 26, less than nine months after it was inaugurated. Police had formed seven teams to trace him.
