Odisha train tragedy: CBI registers FIR, takes over probe
Odisha train tragedy: CBI registers FIR, takes over probe
The CBI on Tuesday started its investigation into alleged criminal negligence leading to the Balasore train accident which claimed 288 lives after registering an FIR, officials said.
Bhubaneswar: The CBI on Tuesday started its investigation into alleged criminal negligence leading to the Balasore train accident which claimed 288 lives after registering an FIR, officials said.
A team of CBI officials, along with forensic experts, which had reached Balasore district on Monday, started the probe immediately after the registration of the FIR at 2.15 pm on Tuesday.
The registration of FIR is the starting point of the CBI probe because the agency cannot collect any document or material, question witnesses, record statement or conduct searches without it, they said.
The Central probe agency was roped in by the Ministry of Railways after a preliminary inquiry flagged tampering with the electronic interlocking system, which detects the presence of trains, and officials suspected ''sabotage'' behind the Friday accident.
''The Central Bureau of Investigation has registered a case on the request of Ministry of Railways, consent of Odisha government and further orders from DoPT (Government of India) relating to the train accident involving Coromandel Express, Yesvantpur-Howrah Express and a goods train at Bahanaga Bazar in Odisha on June 2,'' the CBI spokesperson said.
