HYDERABAD: Railway police investigating the fire in the luggage brake car of Dakshin Superfast Express near Bibinagar in the early hours of Sunday, have found the fire was accidental. They are also probing if there is any conspiracy behind the fire. The luggage bogies, though operated by the railways, are maintained by an outsourcing agency.
Prima facie a short circuit in the coach, due to poor electrical maintenance could have resulted in the fire, which spread all over the coach, due to the presence of plastic and other combustible material in the coach.
