At least 40 on Coromandel Exp may have died due to electrocution

At least 40 bodies retrieved from the derailed bogies of the Coromandel Express rake involved in the three-train crash in Odisha’s Balasore may have been electrocuted by snapped overhead cables as they didn’t have any external injury, a police officer who oversaw the rescue operation said on Monday. His statement echoes the FIR that mentions electrocution as the cause of many deaths after live overhead cables fell on the compartments.
