Following the tragedy, the Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike today started an audit of all the underpasses in the city.
Police have registered a case against the engineers of the Bengaluru civic agency and the car driver who took the vehicle into the flooded underpass in the city, leading to the death of a 22-year-old IT staffer and endangering the lives of five other family members of the victim, who were later rescued.
The Halasuru Gate police on Sunday booked a case based on a complaint lodged by Batula Sandeep, who is the relative of the victim B Bhanurekha.
Meanwhile, driver Harish on Monday said he was on the way to Hosur Road via the City Municipal Corporation office when his car got trapped in the flooded underpass on Sunday.
Harish said he saw an autorickshaw and a car crossing the underpass. When he was weighing the possibility of crossing it, an autorickshaw driver advised him to go ahead.
