The Home Ministry appears not to share the suspicion of Railway Ministry that Monday's train accident in West Bengal could be a case of sabotage.
Officials in the Home Ministry said preliminary reports do not indicate that the accident in Birbhum district, where the speeding Sealdah-bound
Uttarbanga Express rammed into the rear of the Ranchi-bound Vananchal Express, has happened due to some kind of sabotage.
Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee raised suspicions about the cause of the second major train accident in West Bengal in two months saying, "I am suspicious about the cause of the accident."
