The local authorities have reported that the number of deaths have doubled since the previous announcement and about two hundred people injured in the crash. According to the CEO of the Indian railway company, a bomb has exploded on the train and the rails were also damaged. 13 carriages of the train fell into the other railway where a train was coming from in front.

The Gyaneshwari Express was going from Kolkata to Mumbai when it’s derailed in the Jhargram territory at around 1:30 pm local time.

„Till now we found 65 dead bodies, but there may be many more” – Home Secretary of West Bengal state, Samar Gosh reported.

It is assumed that left-wing rebel groups committed the attack against the train. The disaster occured in the West Bengal territory which is commonly known as a stronghold of the Maoist rebels.
