Kolkata, Apr 4 (IBNS): After an hour-long interrogation, the Detective Department of Kolkata Police on Monday evening arrested four more officials of Hyderabad-based construction company IVRCL, in connection with the Vivekananda Flyover collapse incident in the city, sources said.
According to police sources, four senior officials of IVRCL- A.K. Gopal Krishna Murti (Director- Operation, Monitoring and Review- Kolkata Region), S. K. Ratnam (Deputy General Manager, Project Monitoring Cell), Shyamal Manna (Senior Engineer) and Bidyut Manna (Senior Engineer)- have been arrested after being quizzed.
 
The Vivekananda Flyover collapsed on last Thursday afternoon in Kolkata's Posta area. At least 26 people were killed and many others were injured in the disaster. 
 
After the incident, an FIR was lodged against the persons involved in planning and designing the flyover, supervisors and materials suppliers at Posta Police Station in Kolkata, under IPC sections 302, 307, 427 and 120-B.
 
Few days earlier, four other officials of IVRCL were booked in the same case and they are in police custody.
 
However, the four arrested are likely to be produced to the Bankshall Court in Kolkata on Tuesday.
