Nineteen passengers were injured when the Mysuru-Darbhanga Bagmati Express (Train No. 12578) collided with a stationary goods train at Kavaraippettai railway station near Chennai on Friday night. The incident has raised questions about whether the cause was a technical error or an act of sabotage.

According to an official statement, the train was meant to pass through the station without stopping but mistakenly switched to a loop line, leading to the collision. The train was traveling at 75 kmph when the crew felt a heavy jerk, and instead of following the main line, it entered the loop and hit the goods train from behind. Authorities are still investigating the exact cause of the collision.
