Raj Pratap Singh, member of the probe committee said, "I can't say anything at this moment. Until we complete the investigation, talk to everyone & check all the records, it won't be right to say anything."
R Mittal, MD,Bridge Corporation, said, "We think the lock of the bearing underneath the beam broke due to recent thunderstorms in the region that led to accident. Traffic should've been diverted away from construction site.We should learn from this incident."
Meanwhile, Uttar Pradesh Congress chief Raj Babbar met victims of Varanasi flyover collapse.

People here believe that the incident is a consequence of the curse of demolishing temples."
