Indian police arrested nine people as part of their investigation into the collapse of a footbridge in the city of Morbi in Gujarat that killed at least 134.

Those arrested included managerial staff, ticketing clerks and three security guards, according to Reuters.It was not clear exactly how many people were on the bridge when it gave way but officials said it couldn't support the weight of the crowd on it at the time.
