An FIR has already been lodged with the cyber crime police station at the Bandra-Kurla Complex police station under the Information Technology Act. Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Himanshu Roy said, “It is too early to say anything as investigations are still on.”

On March 23, a tweet on Kaushal’s profile — ‘Please avoid the Bandra-Worli sea link, three supporting cables have just collapsed. Worly sea face jammed (sic)’ — had created panic. Following this, the Hindustan Construction Company had intimated the crime branch, hastening an inquiry.
