Palarivattom flyover: Vigilance recommends FIR for detailed probe

KOCHI: After conducting a preliminary inquiry into the corruption involved in the construction of the Palarivattom flyover, the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau (VACB) has submitted a report to its director recommending registration of an FIR for conducting a detailed probe. The flyover constructed on NH 66 at Palarivattom in the city is under repair after cracks were detected on the bridge.

The VACB filed its report to the Vigilance Director on Tuesday.
In the preliminary probe, the agency found flaws in the construction of the bridge. “An FIR has to be registered to conduct a detailed probe. Initially, the FIR will be registered against the construction company. The officials of RBDCK and KITCO will be arraigned as accused if there is sufficient evidence against them,” an officer said.
