At least 132 people are now dead after a suspension bridge collapsed in India’s western state of Gujarat, according to the state’s home minister Harsh Sanghavi. The incident took place Sunday evening at around 6:30 pm local time in the town of Morbi. Some 200 people are estimated to have been on the bridge when it collapsed into the river below, Sanghavi said, adding a cable at one end appears to have snapped. The state of Gujarat has lodged a criminal complaint against the agency that was handling the maintenance of the bridge. A special investigation committee has been established to investigate the incident, Sanghavi said. Hundreds of personnel from state and national disaster relief teams and the Indian military are now running a search operation for missing people. CNN's Kristie Lu Stout reports.
