At least 49 dead after express train smashes into stationary passenger train in eastern India | Mail Online

An express train crashed with a passenger train at a station in eastern India early today, mangling the carriages and killing 56 people, railway police said.

Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee raised the possibility the crash could have been another case of sabotage, two months after Maoist rebels were blamed for a derailment that killed 145 people.

Ms Banerjee said she and top officials were rushing to the scene to investigate. 'We have some doubts in our mind,' she said.
