Indian authorities arrest 3 railway officials over the train crash that killed more than 290 people

Associated Press  

NEW DELHI — India’s federal crime agency said Friday it has arrested three railway officials in connection with one of the country’s deadliest train accidents, which killed more than 290 people last month. June’s train crash in eastern Odisha state occurred when a packed passenger train was mistakenly diverted onto an adjacent loop line where it rammed into a stationary freight train loaded with iron ore. India, a country of 1.42 billion people, has one of the world’s most extensive and complicated railways built during the British colonial era: more than 40,000 miles of tracks, 14,000 passenger trains and 8,000 stations. The June crash was India’s deadliest since 1995, when two trains collided near New Delhi, killing 358 people.
