NDTV
The accident led to 12 coaches being derailed and 19 people injured; over 1,300 passengers were on the express train.
The railway derailment in Tamil Nadu's Tiruvallur district - after a passenger train travelling at 75 km per hour rammed into a stationary goods train - was caused by a "mismatch between signal and route", RN Singh, General Manager of Southern Railways, told NDTV Saturday morning. #WATCH | Tamil Nadu: Drone visuals from Chennai-Guddur section between Ponneri- Kavarappettai railway stations (46 km from Chennai) of Chennai Division where Train no. 12578 Mysuru-Darbhanga Express had a rear collision with a goods train, yesterday evening.12-13 coaches of… pic.twitter.com/QnKmyiSVY7 #WATCH | Tamil Nadu: Latest drone visuals from Chennai-Guddur section between Ponneri- Kavarappettai railway stations (46 km from Chennai) of Chennai Division where Train no. 12578 Mysuru-Darbhanga Express had a rear collision with a goods train, last evening.12-13 coaches… pic.twitter.com/F7kp7bgLdV
The passenger train - the Mysuru-Darbhanga Bagmati Express - should have been switched to the main line but "something wrong happened", Mr Singh said. The train was inadvertently switched to a closed section of the track on which the goods train was parked.
It is too early to say exactly what happened, Mr Singh said, noting that signal had been set for the main line while the track switched the train to the closed loop.
In the CCTV footage, the robbers can be seen opening all the jewellery boxes and taking out the ornaments - while holding the shop owners at gunpoint.
