Chetan Patil, a structural consultant, has been arrested in connection with the collapse of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj statue at Fort Rajkot in Maharashtra's Sindhudurg district. Despite being named in the FIR, Patil claims he was not the structural consultant for the project and only worked on the platform. The statue collapsed in Malavan. The arrest was made by the Kolhapur Police, who traced him to Kolhapur. The incident has raised questions about the responsibilities and roles of those involved in the statue's construction.
