MUMBAI, Nov. 8 -- A day after two people died after being hit by a local train while walking along the railway tracks near Sandhurst Road station, the Government Railway Police (GRP) on Friday launched a probe to ascertain if negligence on the part of railway employees who participated in a protest at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) on Thursday evening was responsible for the deaths. "Our task is to find out if passengers were forced to jump off the stationary train and walk along the tracks towards CSMT because local train services were suspended in light of the protest at CSMT ," a senior GRP officer familiar with the probe told Hindustan Times. Thursday's flash protest was organised by two of the largest railway employees' unions - the Central Railway Mazdoor Sangh (CRMS) and the National Rail Mazdoor Union (NRMU). The objective was to seek cancellation of the first information report (FIR) against two Central Railway (CR) engineers over the mishap in Mumbra on June 9, in which five passengers died after falling from two overcrowded local trains, they said. GRP officers alleged the protest was illegal. "We have conducted a spot inspection and are investigating if any permission had been secured for the protest," the GRP officer quoted earlier said. CCTV footage of the area where the protest was held is being examined to determine if train services were halted due to the protests, the officer said. According to the GRP, Thursday's accident occurred near railway pole number 2/120. Senior police inspector from the CSMT GRP, Katare Sambhaji, said they had recovered a black trolley bag and shoes from the accident spot. "We will send these to the lab for testing," he said. Another GRP officer said an FIR would be registered after recording the statements of the three injured commuters and witnesses at the accident site. Deputy commissioner of police Pradnya Jedge said all angles of the incident were being investigated. The last rites of two people killed in Thursday's accident were held on Friday, while the three injured commuters are under treatment at private hospitals in the city. Munaf Shaikh, brother of 62-year-old Hafiza Choughale, said his sister had suffered internal bleeding in the brain, as revealed by CT and MRI scans. The neurosurgeon treating her said she might take between five to fifteen days to regain consciousness. "She can move her hands and legs, so there is some hope. We're just praying she recovers," Shaikh said. Choughale's son Kaif, who was among the three injured, had suffered a fracture in his shoulder and was undergoing treatment, Shaikh mentioned. A relative of Haley Momaya, the 19-year-old woman who died in Thursday's accident, said Momaya was cremated at the Shivajipark crematorium around 12.30pm. "No one from the state government or railway authorities came to help or enquire about what had happened. They do not pay heed to anyone when they have to help," the relative said. Haley's paternal aunt Khushbhu Momaya, who was among the injured, is undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Mumbai Central after being discharged against medical advice from JJ Hospital. She has suffered injuries on her arm and is currently stable, the relative said. Suryakant Naik, 45, who was among the two dead on Thursday, was cremated on Friday in Nagpur, his native place....
