A false rumor of fire caused panic on the Pushpak Express leading to 13 deaths and multiple injuries as passengers jumped onto adjacent tracks.

Jalgaon Train Tragedy: 13 dead after rumours of fire spark panic, says Deputy CM Ajit Pawar

A heartbreaking incident in Jalgaon where 13 lost their lives due to a false fire rumor on the Pushpak Express, leading to mass panic and tragedy.

The Jalgaon train tragedy, triggered by fire rumours, claimed 13 lives as panicked passengers of Pushpak Express were hit by Karnataka Express. 10 injured are under treatment, and ex-gratia of ₹1.5 lakh for victims' families has been announced.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar confirmed on Thursday that the tragic Jalgaon train accident, which claimed 13 lives, was triggered by rumours of a fire on the Pushpak Express. The panic led passengers to jump off the moving train, only to be struck by the oncoming Karnataka Express on an adjacent track.
Speaking to reporters, Pawar said the rumour was spread by two passengers, Udhal Kumar and Vijay Kumar, after they overheard a tea seller shouting about a fire in the bogie. &ldquo;Both panicked, leading others to jump out of the train to save themselves. The train was moving at high speed when someone pulled the chain to stop it. Passengers then began crossing the railway track, where the Karnataka Express, traveling at a high speed, hit them,&rdquo; he explained.
Among the 13 deceased, 10 have been identified, while three remain unidentified. The incident also left 10 passengers injured&mdash;eight males and two females&mdash;who are receiving treatment at the Civil Hospital in Jalgaon. Both Udhal Kumar and Vijay Kumar are among the injured and are currently under treatment.
The Railway Ministry has announced ex-gratia compensation of ₹1.5 lakh for the families of the deceased, ₹50,000 for those seriously injured, and ₹5,000 for individuals with minor injuries.
Deputy CM Pawar assured that railway services have resumed at the accident site and that all injured individuals are being treated at government expense. &ldquo;Our ministers and Collectors are closely monitoring the situation,&rdquo; he added.
The tragic incident unfolded on Wednesday evening when passengers stepped off the Pushpak Express due to the false fire alarm. As they attempted to cross the tracks, the speeding Karnataka Express struck them, leading to the fatalities and injuries. Authorities are now focusing on ensuring proper care for the victims and their families.

Many passengers lost their lives in a tragic accident in Maharashtra’s Jalgaon district when they jumped off the Pushpak Express fearing a fire, only to be hit by the Bengaluru Express traveling in the opposite direction.

Several killed in Maharashtra train accident after passengers jump off train over fire rumors

Many passengers lost their lives in a tragic accident in Maharashtra&rsquo;s Jalgaon district when they jumped off the Pushpak Express fearing a fire, only to be hit by the Bengaluru Express traveling in the opposite direction.

Several passengers lost their lives in a tragic accident in North Maharashtra's Jalgaon district on Wednesday evening.&nbsp;
The incident occurred after passengers, fearing a fire onboard, stepped off the Lucknow-Mumbai Pushpak Express, only to be run over by the Karnataka Express, which was traveling in the opposite direction on adjacent tracks.
Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan stated that 10 to 12 people had died, based on information from the district collector. The accident took place between Maheji and Pardhade stations, near Pachora, when the Pushpak Express came to a halt around 5 pm after someone pulled the chain due to rumors of a fire.
Central Railway spokesperson Swapnil Nila confirmed that the passengers of Pushpak Express, believing there was a fire, stepped down onto the tracks and were hit by the oncoming Karnataka Express traveling from Bengaluru to Delhi.
The train accident occurred more than 400 km away from Mumbai. According to preliminary information from railway officials, sparks from one of the Pushpak Express coaches, possibly caused by a "hot axle" or "brake-binding," led to the panic.
Passengers, fearing the worst, pulled the emergency chain, and some jumped off. At the same time, the Karnataka Express was passing through the area, tragically resulting in the deaths.
Maharashtra&rsquo;s guardian minister for Jalgaon, Gulabrao Patil, confirmed that senior railway officials were en route to the accident site, and further details would follow after the investigation.
