Rinkesh Roy who is the Khordha Road DRM earlier suspected that physical tampering or Sabotage could be behind the crash. He said, “There was a green signal on the main line. The signal is usually green when all the pre-conditions required for the signal to go green are perfect. If any of the pre-conditions are not fulfilled, the signal can never turn green unless and until anyone physically tampers with the signal system. But, the data records, show that when Coromandel Express was reaching the station, the signal was green, but the train moved to the loop line,”
