Morbi bridge collapse case: Oreva MD sent to judicial custody
A Morbi court on Wednesday sent Managing Director of Ajanta Manufacturing Private Limited (AMPL) of Oreva Group, Jaysukh Patel, accused in the suspension bridge collapse case, to judicial custody.
Morbi chief judicial magistrate M J Khan sent Patel to judicial custody after the Special Investigation Team (SIT) formed by the state government to conduct a probe into the case did not seek his further remand.
Patel is facing charges of culpable homicide not amounting to murder after the tragedy in October 2022 that killed 135 persons. His company was responsible for the operation and maintenance of the bridge.
