Kanpur: The Sabarmati Express from Varanasi to Ahmedabad got derailed near Kanpur and its 20 coaches went off track. The derailment occurred around 02:35 am on Saturday morning caused no major injuries and all the passengers were evacuated safely. The incident happened due to a collision of the train engine with a heavy boulder kept on track which has raised eyebrows.

No technical glitch but…

It has been found that the derailment of Sabarmati Express didn’t occur due to any technical or mechanical glitch but because a heavy object was placed on the track. As per the X post of the railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, sharp hit marks have been observed after the collision. The evidence has been protected and the intelligence unit IB and UP police are working on the scrutiny of it.

Does it smell like a conspiracy?

Keeping an object, that too a boulder, on a railway track is not a normal phenomenon. Why was it kept? The possible reasons could be a terrorist attack or conspiracy to harm hundreds of passengers. To jolt a nation that is already seeing a terrorist encounter every other day in the valley of Kashmir, harming the masses by derailing the train could be a target.

Another possibility could be the reel-makers who are doing abrupt things these days to remain in the headlines. Recently, a YouTuber was caught and arrested for such activities. He used to place objects of different shapes and sizes on railway tracks before a train’s arrival. After the train used to go, the YouTuber used to show its viewers what had happened to the object he placed. When questioned on the reason behind this activity, he bluntly said he did this to get more and more views, to be famous.

Though the purpose of placing the boulder on the track is not clear yet and scrutiny is underway, the good part about this incident is that none of the passengers got seriously injured and no casualty was reported. All of them have been shifted to another train to continue their journey. This happened due to the quick response of the railways team which averted the arrival of any train on the given track and hence a major accident was averted.
