A local court on Sunday remanded two builders, arrested in connection with the wall collapse in Kondhwa on Saturday, to police custody till June 2. Vivek Agarwal and Vipul Agarwal are partners of the firm, Alcon Landmark. Nine labourers, four minors, and two women were killed after a section of the retaining wall of Alcon Stylus housing society crashed onto their makeshift hutments adjoining the wall.
