A day after the foot over bridge (FOB) at the north end of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus collapsed, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation conducted an inquiry in the matter. Less than 24 hours later, the BMC has placed the bulk of the responsibility on Professor D D Desai's Associated Engineering Consultants who carried out the structural audit of the FOB.

The civic administration has also blamed two junior engineers, a chief engineer, deputy chief engineer and RPS Infrastructure who had carried out structural repairs on the FOB in 2013.
