The nine -- all associated with a company that maintained the bridge in Morbi -- were being investigated for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, senior police officer Ashok Kumar Yadav said in a statement.
Nine people were arrested Monday in connection with the collapse of a pedestrian bridge in Gujarat that killed more than 130 people, police said.
The nine -- all associated with a company that maintained the bridge in Morbi -- were being investigated for culpable homicide not amounting to murder, senior police officer Ashok Kumar Yadav said in a statement.
The bridge, which had reopened days earlier after months of renovation, collapsed on Sunday evening, sending hundreds tumbling into the river in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat.
Authorities said nearly 500 people were on and around the nearly 150-year-old suspension bridge when supporting cables snapped.
