Those arrested were the investor, mine head and seven people in charge of safety, technology, facilities and production at the Xinfeng No. 2 Coal Mine of Dengfeng City, a Dengfeng Municipal People's Procuratorate official said. They were accused of having major responsibilities in the grave accident. Wu Zhanzhao, Dengfeng Municipal Coal Mine Bureau assistant head, and six other officials from the bureau and Dajindian Town were detained for dereliction of duty.
