Balasore: The remand of the three accused in the Bahanaga Train Tragedy has been increased by four more days by the court. The Court has granted the CBI a reman extension of the three accused for four more days.
Amid the ongoing investigation of the Bahanaga Train Tragedy, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has summoned two more railway employees for further interrogation.
The CBI has also summoned three other people to their office, potentially hinting at their subsequent arrests. Earlier, CBI had arrested three people in connection with the accident. With their remand period ending today, the CBI is likely to appeal for an extension in order to facilitate further interrogation.
The Bahanaga triple train tragedy happened on June 02, 2023. The three trains which were involved in the accident were the 12864 Bengaluru-Howrah Superfast Express, 12841 Shalimar-Chennai Coromandel Express, and a goods train.
The deadly accident claimed the lives of 293 people and injured thousands of others. Reportedly, the primary reason behind the accident was the lack of co-ordination between the signal and telecom department.
