Two Central Railway Engineers Booked in June Mumbra Train Deaths

The action follows a railway police probe into a June 9 footboard‑fall tragedy on a sharp curve near Mumbra.

Overview

  • Railway police registered a case against a senior section engineer and a section engineer of Central Railway.
  • The case stems from an incident between Diva and Mumbra where two local trains passed each other at a sharp curve.
  • Police said several commuters standing on the footboard fell after their backpacks brushed against each other.
  • Reports cite booking under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, though accounts differ on whether Section 125(a)(b) or Section 25 applies.
  • The Thane Government Railway Police had initially logged an accidental death case, and investigators say the probe continues.
