Raipur, Jan 12: Three Chinese engineers have been arrested for the under-construction chimney crash at Bharat Aluminium Company Limited (Balco) that killed 41 workers on Sep 23, 2009.

Speaking to reporters, Korba SP Ratanlal Dangi said, "Three Chinese engineers were arrested on Monday, Jan 11, in Korba town."
