Superintendent of Police Vineet Jaiswal, who reached the spot first, immediately started rescue work with the policemen and got the people out of the train and sent them to the hospital. At the same time, Commissioner Devipatan Mandal, DIG Devipatan, DM Neha Sharma and other senior officials of the district reached the spot and remained engaged in relief and rescue work.

Soil samples were taken from the railway track by the forensic team of the railway department.

The loco pilot said that the accident happened when he applied emergency brakes after hearing a loud bang. The officials also investigated the angle of conspiracy, but no conspiracy has been found at the spot so far.

Accident due to dampness in railway line

If we talk about this entire accident, the accident happened near Pikoura village on Gonda-Gorakhpur railway route. There are long pits next to the railway track. Due to excess water in the pits, the railway track got damp. The soil had become very wet. Due to which the railway line got a little disheveled. The Dibrugarh Express passing during this time became a victim of the accident.

Local people, on the condition of anonymity, said that some track men had worked on this railway track just a few hours ago and had repaired the railway line. During this time, this accident happened. However, Dainik Bhaskar does not confirm this.

The loco pilot is missing since the accident

After the accident, both the loco pilots driving the train fled from the spot. Various statements were given by the railway department officials to save their loco pilots. Sometimes it was told that they are admitted in Mankapur Community Health Center, and sometimes it was told that they are admitted in Gonda District Hospital. Whereas according to the local people, both the loco pilots got down from the train after the accident. They did not face any problem. Neither was there any damage to the front part of the train. Then why were both the loco pilots admitted to the hospital. This is also a big question. As soon as both the loco pilots got down, the railway department officials who reached the spot after getting the information, immediately took both the loco pilots somewhere and made them disappear. So that the truth of the entire incident does not come out. Local people also say that there was no explosion. Rather this accident happened due to the negligence of the driver.

Where did the officers make the loco pilot disappear

The complete information about why and how the accident happened can only be obtained from the loco pilot driving the train. But when the loco pilot himself was made to disappear by the officials of the railway department, then how will the truth of the entire incident come out? How will the officials of the railway department investigate the entire matter? This is also a big question, because the railway has formed a high level committee to investigate the entire matter. If the loco pilot does not reach the spot and give information about the incident, then what kind of investigation will the high level committee do? This remains to be seen.
