On April 15, eight coaches of Meerut-Lucknow Rajya Rani Express (22454) got derailed near Rampur in Uttar Pradesh, leaving 15 injured. Though no casualties were reported then either, the government railway police (GRP) registered an FIR in Rampur against unknown railway officials for negligence.

Additionally, the Uttar Pradesh Police had also said that a three-foot long portion of the railway track where the Rajya Rani Express derailed, was missing. "Sabotage cannot be ruled out," KK Chaudhri, SP of Rampur, said.

The Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) also inspected the area and B Srivastava, additional SP of ATS, had said that they will soon submit a report to the senior officials. The inspector general of the anti-terrorist squad, Asim Arun had also inspected the spot to find out the cause of the derailment.

The Lokmanya Tilak Superfast Express is just another addition to the recent list of similar accidents. On March 30, eight coaches of the Jabalpur-Nizamuddin Mahakaushal Express jumped off the tracks near Mahoba in the same state. Around 40 passengers on board the Delhi-bound train were injured.

The worst was, however, the derailment of Indore-Patna Express at Pukhrayan, 60 km from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh, leaving about 150 dead and over 200 injured.

Though poor infrastructure and human error were suspected as the reasons behind these accidents, the terror angle coul also not be ignored.
