Verma, however, said that poor quality material was used for the work, so the wall could not withstand a minor push. The incident took place when Verma was inspecting an under-construction engineering college in Pratapgarh last week. As he pushed the wall it caved in. The manager of Amarontrans Infotech Noida firm, which has been assigned the job of constructing the college building, filed a case against Verma on Saturday night.
