Train accident: bus driver held

Moga (Punjab): The driver of the mini-bus, which collided with the Ludhiana Ferozepur 4629 Satluj Express at Nu Chur Chak village at a manned crossing recently, was arrested by the Government Railway Police on Tuesday.

Sixteen persons were killed and an equal number injured when the private bus collided with the train. The driver, Iqbal Singh, got the gate opened and drove even as the train was approaching. Singh was also injured and admitted to the DMC Hospital at Ludhiana.

Gateman Kulwant Singh was arrested last week after he surrendered before the police. — PTI
