Geo Dynamics, the firm that conducted non-destructive testing (NDT) of the Himalaya foot overbridge (FOB) at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), told the Azad Maidan police that neither civic officials nor the engineers of Professor D D Desai’s engineering firm were present at the site during the test.
The Azad Maidan police on Thursday made the submissions in the Esplanade court, which then remanded Neeraj Desai, director of the firm that conducted the audit of the bridge, in judicial custody till April 10.
The FOB had collapsed on March 14, killing six people and injuring 31 others. The Azad Maidan police, on Wednesday, recorded statements of Geo Dynamics’ Ravi Kiran Vaidya and Gumansingh Rathore, owner of Vitrag Enterprises.
