Collapsed Mumbai Bridge was used by terrorist Ajmal Kasab during 26/11 Mumbai attack

The Mumbai bridge was commonly known as 'Kasab bridge'.

Mumbai: The Bridge which connected the area near the Times of India building with the iconic CSMT station collapsed on Thursday. The bridge was commonly known as 'Kasab bridge' as the 26/11 Mumbai attack terrorist passed through it during the terror strike in Maharashtra's capital. In the accident, five persons were killed and 29 injured after a major portion of a foot overbridge near a train station in south Mumbai. All the injured have been rushed to nearby hospitals, a disaster management cell official said. The incident took place around 7.30 pm when a major portion of the bridge caved in. Some motorists who were passing beneath the bridge when it came down, were among those injured. An eyewitness said when the bridge collapsed, there was a red light at the nearby signal, and that is why the death toll was not more. Another eyewitness said the overbridge was being used despite repairs being carried out this morning. The Congress held the BJP-led Central and state governments responsible for the Mumbai bridge collapse, which has killed at least five people, saying they are "criminally culpable" of inaction and also demanded the ouster of Railway Minister Piyush Goyal.
