NIA: No sabotage angle found in inital probe of train accidents

The NIA Friday said that no sabotage angle was found in initial investigation of the recent train derailments and accidents. The agency, however, is continuing the probe to ascertain its findings.

An official said, “A preliminary enquiry has been registered to look into sabotage angles in recent train accidents/derailments. At least four such cases are being looked into. Nothing concrete has come up so far to suggest there were sabotage attempts in these train derailments/accidents.”

Some cases were reported in the past two months where empty gas cylinders, cement sleeper etc. were placed on railway tracks, suggesting attempts to damage railway properties and harm passengers.
