![]() ![]() ![]() This meant there was no way the collision could have been averted even though the accused had applied the brakes,” Babu said. We maintained the same speed and applied the brake, which took effect only after 50 m. “The speedometer record provided by the authorities showed the train was travelling at over 90 kmph. Rajesh Babu said the first thing they did was to take a test drive in a train from the point from where the Chennai-Tiruvallur suburban train was hijacked and rammed into the goods train at Vyasarpadi three minutes later at 90 kmph. Why the braking system of suburban train failed? Subsequently, he and the institute’s director Mohinder Singh Dahiya visited Chennai and reconstructed the sequence of events that might have led to train hijack and the collision killing four, of which three have been identified. One of the authors of the report, G Rajesh Babu, assistant professor and expert in anthropology and fingerprints, said the then DIG (CB-CID) P Kannappan made a request to conduct a case study a year after the ill-fated incident. So it is possible to conclude that he had only taken the train from the railway station and had sustained injuries and died when he tried to jump off the train to escape just before the collision with another train stationed in the same track,” said the report, which was accessed by Express. ![]() The lower part of the leg/lower limb has been severely lacerated (up to bone deep). The left arm has been dismembered in the impact of hitting a pole present in the platform. “Due to the momentum with which he had fallen off the train, he had sustained injuries over the left part of the body predominantly. All the rest of the deceased were crushed to death inside the compartments. Besides him, three of the 11 passengers (fortunately there was no crowd in the train since it was early in the morning) died in the collision.Ī study report by two experts from the Institute of Forensic Sciences, Gujarat Forensic Sciences University in Gandhinagar, concluded the man with the tattoo on the arm was the hijacker since only he was aware about the impending collision and jumped out of the train moments before the accident. ![]()
