Mr. Rao, his wife, Padmavathi (50), daughter, Pavanilata, son-in-law, Venkataramana, and grand-daughter died in the mishap as their airconditioned coach telescoped into general coaches. The family resides in Nagole near Uppal.

The retired employee, Dattatreya Rao Waghmare (60), who was also killed, was returning to Aurungabad after collecting his pension here.
