Balasore train crash: CBI focuses on signal tampering grills engineer

A CBI team investigating the June 2 three-train pile-up at Bahanaga Bazar station in Odisha's Balasore interrogated a junior engineer with the railway signals unit on Tuesday amid suspicion that the accident that killed 292 people was caused by tampering of the signalling system. The junior engineer, entrusted with signalling work in Soro and Bahanaga Bazar, came under the scanner because signal protocols were found violated, a source said.
