A train accident occurred on Friday in Odisha’s Balasore region in which three trains collided killing over 270 passengers and left over 1,000 injured.
CBI officials took over the charge of the investigation after the Odisha police registered a case under several sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Railway Act for causing death by negligence.
According to the procedure, the CBI re-registers the local police case as its own FIR and starts the probe. It can add or remove a charge from the FIR in its charge sheet filed after its investigation.
Both passenger trains were at high speed, and experts have cited it as one of the main reasons for the high number of casualties, the report added.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi along with the Railway Minister visited the accident site in Balasore.
