However, the Sabarmati Express had crossed the same track nine minutes earlier and it had not reported any fault. Its driver felt no jerks. Hence, it is difficult to pinpoint any reason at this moment.
This has been reported in thehindu.com dated 21 November 2016.
The location of the derailment was between the Pukhrayan and Malasa stations along the Jhansi-Kanpur section. Two of the sleeper coaches S3 and S4 were thrown off on to the nearby fields. S1 and S2 in front of them bore the brunt when the coaches smashed into each other leaving behind mangled iron. The third AC coach B3 was also heavily damaged.
