CBI lodged FIR under theses sections

Before Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) formally assumed control of the investigation into the 288-person fatal Balasore train accident in Odisha, the investigation agency started gathering documents and information. The CBI lodged the FIR under the Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 337 (who causes hurt to any person by doing any act in such a haste or negligence as to endanger human life), 338 (who causes grievous hurt by an act endangering life or personal safety of others), 304 A (causing death by negligence), and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention).

Railway official suggested sabotage with interlocking system

After the railway minister said that there are some people who are responsible for “criminal acts” that caused the accident, the probe began. Additionally, railway personnel also suggested “sabotage” and meddling with the computerized interlocking system.
