MORBI: The Gujarat police today, January 27, submitted a 1,262-page charge sheet in the Morbi bridge collapse case and named Oreva Group director Jaysukh Patel as prime accused.

The charge sheet is filed against 10 accused, of which nine are arrested while the director is absconding, said Rajkot range Inspector General of Police Ashok Yadav. He said,  managers Deepak Parekh, Dinesh Dave, 3 security guards, 2 ticket clerks and as many private contract workers have been arrested and are in judicial custody.

Patel has moved anticipatory bail application.

Major allegation against Oreva group is that without valid fitness certificate whether the suspension bridge is fit for public or not, the company opened it for visitors.

"We have not issued any fitness certificate to the company, and it has also not informed us that it is opening the suspension bridge for visitors," Nagarpalika said.

The First Information Report read that at least 250 to 300 people were present on the bridge when it collapsed after one of the cables snapped, resulting in the death of 135 people. The bridge had the capacity to take the weight of only about 125 people at a time.
