Tech giant Google is assisting authorities investigating the deaths of three men who allegedly drove off an unfinished bridge in UP while following a direction on Google Maps, AFP reported.
The group was en route to a wedding on Sunday when their car fell into the Ramganga river from the incomplete bridge.
According to a police official, a part of the bridge was damaged by a flood last year.
Nitin and Ajit, both 30 and both brothers from Farrukhabad district, and Amit, 40, from Mainpuri district, were on their way from Noida to Faridpur in Bareilly to attend a wedding.
“Our deepest sympathies go out to the families. We’re working closely with the authorities and providing our support to investigate the issue,” a Google spokesperson was quoted as saying in the report.
Police have booked four engineers of the Public Works Department and an unnamed official of Google Maps in connection with the deaths, as per PTI’s report.
