The Oreva company, a watchmaker, bagged a 15-year contract to maintain the bridge in March and reopened it after repairs seven months later - before schedule. The Morbi municipal body allegedly awarded the contract to Oreva without a bidding process.
Questions have been raised by the survivors of the tragedy and the opposition about the police FIR not naming either the top bosses of Oreva or the civic officials who signed the contract despite glaring gaps.
