Police sources told that the visit was to cross-check some claims made by the nine staff members of the company who’ve been arrested so far. It is noted that Jaysukhbhai Patel had signed the contract with the Morbi municipal corporation.
Meanwhile, relatives of the dead have questioned the BJP government, as have Opposition parties including Congress and AAP, particularly when elections are weeks away.
Furthermore, Police told the court that Oreva was not qualified for the repair work, yet it was given the work in 2007 and then in 2022 for 15 years at a time.
A manager of the Oreva group, one of those arrested, told a local court that the tragedy was an ‘act of God’ while seeking relief, public prosecutor HS Panchal told.
