According to his son Avinash, who was also working on the Tony’s Auto Spares bond, the wire has been exposed for a while. “GPL join the wire and leff it jus suh. They didn’t tape it up or anything. GPL is the cause of this problem,” the young man said.

Other family members also echoed similar sentiments. “GPL had the problem, it wasn’t anything to do with Tony’s,” one family member said.
