Four persons, including the

director of a private educational institution near here, have

been arrested in connection with the death of ten persons

after an under-construction building in its premises collapsed

recently. The other arrested were two civil contractors and a

supplier of manpower for the construction,a police release

said. A case under various IPC sections including 338 (causing

grievous hurt by act endangering life or personal safety of

others) have been booked against the four, police added. The victims were workers from Assam and Orissa and a

preliminary probe has revealed that those engaged for the

project did not have any experience or exposure to such work,

the release said. As for the Institution management, they had not obtained

proper permission for taking up the the Rs two crore project,

it said. The investigation also revealed that the process of

constructing the building was also flawed, with no adequate

time provided for the curing of the wall, and the materials

used were of inferior quality, police said. The mishap occurred on Monday when the workers were

involved in the construction of an auditorium in the

institution located in Kunnam in Kancheepuram district.
