Three accused granted bail in Morbi bridge collapse

The Gujarat high court Thursday granted bail to three security guards who were behind bars since their arrest in connection with the Morbi bridge collapse in which 135 people were killed in October last year.

Justice Samir Dave granted regular bail to Alpesh Gohil, Dilip Gohil and Mukesh Chauhan who were among the ten accused arrested following the incident. The relief was granted after public prosecutor Mitesh Amin submitted that the court should decide on their pleas considering their job profile.

Amin submitted that the owners of the clock-making firm, Oreva Group, are mainly responsible for the incident.
