Four Oreva group staffers among nine held for Morbi bridge collapse

Nine persons, including four employees of the Oreva group, were arrested by police on Monday and charged with culpable homicide not amounting to murder in connection with the Morbi bridge collapse case, a senior official said. The Oreva group had bagged the contract to maintain and operate the British-era bridge that collapsed on Sunday evening, killing 134 people. “Of these nine, two work as managers, while two work as ticket booking clerks (all four employed by Oreva group) at the bridge site. We will conduct a thorough inquiry and will not spare the guilty,” said Range IG Ashok Kumar Yadav at a press conference.
