According to the reports of the officials, on Wednesday night 12 individuals died after they boarded the train tracks during the assumption of fire, while an oncoming train passed by the Jalgaon region of Maharashtra. The speculation of fire inflamed the chaos that the central railway authorities encountered around 5 pm. Pushpak was at the station near Maheji and Pardhade which lies 400 kilometers from Mumbai..
While the minister claimed that the number of individuals deceased are 10 or 12, the district collector had more information, giving the upperbound as 40. It's the Union minister who heads that region of India, Karnataka, who has the most accurate information sketching in India's worst case settings. Central Railway's chief spokesperson Swapnil Nila claimed that some passengers aboard the express weren't cautious enough and fell within the path of the vibrant Karnataka express that was destined towards New Delhi from Bangalore.
Visuals from the scene showed multiple bodies and body parts scattered throughout the site. “My understanding is that there were sparks and smoke inside one of the general coaches of Pushpak Express due to either ‘hot axle’ or ‘brake-binding’ (jamming), and some passengers panicked and pulled the chain, with some jumping down. At that moment, Karnataka Express was passing,” a railway official said while speaking to PTI.
