Balasore: Family says still not allowed to meet train driver

The family of Gunanidhi Mohanty, the train driver involved in India’s worst rail accident for three decades, have not been allowed to see him since the crash. Mohanty was admitted to hospital with three broken ribs and head injuries after the Coromandel Express he was driving collided with a stationary goods train, derailing several compartments, some of which strayed onto the path of the onrushing Yeshwantpur-Howrah Express, leaving 291 dead and over 1,100 injured. Mohanty is not one of the five railways officials being questioned by the Central Bureau of Investigation for suspected dereliction of duty.
