Odisha train crash 'conspiracy by TMC', claims BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari

BJP MLA Suvendu Adhikari threatened to go to court if CBI failed to probe the alleged conspiracy and phone-tapping.

A political war appears to be brewing in Bengal over the Odisha triple train crash which killed at least 278 people.
BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari on June 5, 2023 alleged a conspiracy by the ruling Trinamool Congress behind the incident, as per news agency ANI.
Suvendu asked why TMC was afraid of a CBI probe, and why the party was "panicking" when the incident had taken place in another state. The BJP MLA also claimed that TMC leaders had tapped phones of railway officials.
He threatened to go to court if CBI does not probe this.

Odisha train crash: how 'tampering' of 'location box' led to tragedy, as per report

'Looping' of the location box gave a green signal to the oncoming Coromandel Express, but directed it towards the goods train, as per an Indian Express report.

With the CBI beginning its probe into the Odisha triple train crash, officials reportedly said that the most likely cause of the accident was "tampering of the location box" near the railway station.
The trigger was probably a malfunctioning level-crossing gate which prevented a green signal on the main line, an Indian Express report said. As a temporary solution, railway staff made changes to the 'location box' which is placed along the tracks and helps guide trains to their designated tracks.
On June 2, manual alteration of the location box gave a green signal to the oncoming Coromandel Express, but the point remained directed towards the loop line instead of the main line.
On the loop line, a stationary goods train was waiting, and was hit by the Coromandel Express.
