A train traveling from Lucknow to Mumbai stopped on the railway track in Jalgaon district of Maharashtra yesterday. Meanwhile, a rumor spread that a train compartment was on fire, prompting passengers to run to the other side of the track, in panic.
Tragically, a second train, the Karnataka Express, traveling on the same track, struck the victims, resulting in the deaths of 13 people, including three Nepali citizens, according to Indian media reports.
