The Bengaluru police department has constituted a team consisting of members from the civil engineering department of IIT-Hyderabad to probe the collapse of the reinforcement cage near Hennur main road, which killed a mother and her child on January 10.
According to sources in the police department, the IIT-Hyderabad team has been roped in to investigate the technical aspects of the incident, based on which the police will initiate action against those responsible for the incident. A team of two professors from the civil engineering department, KVL Subramaniam and S Suriya Prakash, are in Bengaluru to investigate the cause of the accident.
However, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has already roped in professor Chandra Kishen from IISc, Bengaluru, to study and find out the cause of the reinforcement cage collapse.
