While listing the matter on November 14, the High Court has sought a detailed report on the matter on the entire incident, which claimed 135 lives.

A company called Oreva had renovated the bridge recently and thrown open for public. However, there were shocking revelations after the case started to unfold post the incident.

It was alleged that the company had invested only 12 lakhs on the bridge renovation while the money allocated for the project was 20 Crore.

However, one of the two accused, held by the police, said that the incident was an “Act of God” which has no responsibility of the company.
