Two more arrests in Hatkeshwar bridge case

“As team leader-cum-coordinator, the two were responsible for spot supervision of the bridge. They were responsible for maintaining registers of who all are coming, supervising day-to-day operations, who are visiting on behalf of AMC during the ongoing project, inspecting the source of materials being used, etc,” said Khokhra police inspector AY Patel.

Pandya lost his son to suicide a few months ago and was not arrested so far on compassionate grounds, said a police official.

Last month, the police had arrested four directors of Ajay Engi-Infrastructure Private Limited (AEIPL), the company that was awarded the tender and contract for the Hatkeshwar Bridge, which was damaged within four years of being opened to the public.
