The builder, who sustained injuries, was rushed to the nearby Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital, the officer said.
Police suspect that the builder was under depression.
His condition is said to be critical, police said, adding investigations are underway.
On October 7 last year, Thane-based builder Suraj Parmar had allegedly committed suicide by shooting himself, apparently because he was fed up with government's regulations and problems being faced by realty developers.
