The accused were released on a bail bond.

The factory is located at Tuem Industrial Estate in Pernem village of North Goa district.
Nine workers were injured in the blast and two of them died during treatment.
A senior police official said Friday that Samir Mandrekar and Joshi were arrested two days ago for alleged negligence. They were released by a local court on a bail bond on the same day.
