Pushpak Express mishap: ‘Mother told me to jump, couldn’t as I was scared’

Hindustan Times  

A journey that began with routine expectations turned into a nightmare for passengers aboard the Pushpak Express. At least 12 passengers were killed on Wednesday evening when they jumped from their train in panic due to a `fire incident’, only to be run over by another train on the adjacent tracks in North Maharashtra’s Jalgaon district, officials said. Rajiv Sharma, from Gomti Nagar in the city, said, “I was near a door of sleeper coach when people started screaming saying that the train had caught fire. But no one listened.” Shamim Ahmed of Bahraich, who was travelling with his brother Anees, said the Pushpak Express was moving at a high speed when people felt a strong jolt. With Pushpak Express being the fastest train between Mumbai and Lucknow, it is a preferred way to commute to the metropolis for many.
