The principal district and sessions court of Morbi on Saturday rejected the bail application of seven accused in the case related to the Morbi suspension bridge collapse that killed 135 persons in October 2022.
Two others — Prakash and Devang Parmar, proprietors of the Surendranagar-based sub-contracting firm that had undertaken repairs of the bridge — moved bail pleas before the sessions court on February 3. Their pleas are scheduled to be heard on February 6.
Parmar’s confessional statement recorded before a magistrate forms part of the chargesheet submitted by the Morbi police on January 27.
