Police said the crane collapsed at 2.45pm, apparently while being used to lift construction materials to one of the floors. Witnesses said the arm of the crane came off after swinging wildly for a couple of seconds. "He probably died instantly when the arm of the crane landed on his shed. A police team reached the New Town construction site around 3.30pm and cordoned off the area. The incident occurred when the cable of the crane, which was being used at the construction site of the East-West Metro, snapped while lifting a 30-tonne object, officials said.
