He is one of the five persons booked in the case, they said.
The five-storey building -- Tareq Garden -- in Mahad town, around 170 km from Mumbai, collapsed on Monday evening.
According to a police official, the rescue operation was called off around 11.30 am on Wednesday.
15 persons died after being trapped under the rubble, but one person had died of a heart attack at a local hospital late on Monday night, hours after he was injured in the incident, he said.
