Despite grim warnings of more bodies trapped inside, relatives like Ramanand Tiwari haven’t lost hope, reported NDTV. “I am looking for my brother,” said Ramanand Tiwari. His brother Rajmani was in one of the front coaches that suffered the maximum damage, but Mr Tiwari said: “Who knows? He may have changed his seat…We have searched everywhere…”

A picture of growing despair, Nirmal Verma said he had found only dead relatives so far and didn’t expect his mother to survive, said the report. “Whoever I have found has died…my brother, my older sister-in-law, daughter…” he sobbed. He was meant to travel with his family to a wedding but couldn’t get leave from work and was supposed to join them later.

While the cause of the accident is being investigated, officials say a fault in the tracks could have caused the accident.
