Mumbai, Jan 23: The death toll in the Jalgaon train accident was revised to 12 after officials confirmed on Thursday that a head and a torso, initially thought to belong to different individuals, were from the same person.
A state government official said that earlier the figure had been arrived at 13 as a woman’s body and a head were found at the scene of the accident, but a man identified the body parts as that of his mother.
The tragedy took place when some passengers of the 12533 Mumbai-bound Pushpak Express got off the train after an alarm chain-pulling incident and were run over by the Karnataka Express on the adjacent tracks on Wednesday evening.
“The Government Medical College (in Jalgaon) has officially stated that the total number of dead persons is 12 as the torso and body are of the same deceased (female) identified by her son,” he said.
The official said all bodies have been identified and they were being handed over to their respective families.
A team of five senior railway officials has initiated an inquiry into the train accident, the Railway Board said on Thursday. (PTI)
