What did the passengers say?
Sandeep Kumar, a passenger, said he was resting in the coach. During this time, there were some jerks as if the brakes were applied too quickly. By the time I could understand anything, the train had stopped. However, for a while it also looked as if there had been an accident. After this the train stopped for a long time. After some time when I got down from the coach and looked outside, two coaches of the AC coach had derailed.
