Thane Train Mishap: Four people were killed while six others were injured after passengers fell off two trains passing each other near Mumbra railway station on Monday morning, a police official said, as quoted by news agency PTI. Six passengers were found injured along the fast line railway track between Mumbra and Diva stations in Thane district, the official added. The injured passengers have been taken to a nearby medical facility for treatment.

"This incident happened between Mumbra-Diva railway stations on the Down/Fast Line. People travelling on the footboard on a local train from Kasara and similarly those on a train going towards CSMT, collided with each other and fell,” Swapnil Dhanraj Nila said, as quoted by ANI.

"It is not a collision. In this incident, the passengers travelling on footboards in trains in opposite directions got entangled. This is one of the suspected reasons for the incident, as informed by a passenger. The distance between two trains is 1.5-2 meters, but on curves, a slight tilt happens, and this could be an additional reason for the incident," he further said.
