The building collapse underlines the issue of illegal construction in India.
Police say the builder of the high rise used sub-standard construction material and did not possess
an occupation certificate.
There are hundreds of similar illegal high-rises in the Mumbai region.
Due to a high population growth, there is always demand for cheap housing
And homes in illegal buildings sell at a lower price compared to those in legal ones.
Activists also allege that unscrupulous builders often pay hefty bribes to authorities who turn a blind eye
to these illegal structures and do not take any action against the builders.
