A Morbi sessions court on Wednesday rejected the bail pleas of eight of the nine accused in the case related to the suspension bridge collapse in Morbi that killed 135 people on October 30.
The bail plea of another accused — Devang Parmar, proprietor of Surendranagar-based Dev Prakash Fabrication, which was sub-contracted by Oreva company for the bridge restoration, is pending.
District government pleader Vijay Jani told The Indian Express, “We have not received the order copies but I believe the court took into consideration the submissions the state made with respect to the preliminary findings by the Forensic Sciences Laboratory (FSL) that said the cables of the bridge were rusted.
