BMRCL probes derailment of Yellow Line train at depot in Jan
Bengaluru (PTI): The BMRCL has initiated an internal investigation into the derailment of a Yellow Line train at its depot in January.
According to BMRCL sources, a bogie derailed ahead of a trial run in mid-January. A six-member panel has been formed to examine the incident.
“The train was not on the main line; it was stationary at the depot. Due to human error, this happened. The panel will investigate the cause,” a Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited official told PTI. He added that no damage occurred to the coach or the tracks.
Passenger safety is our top priority. Since this happened at the depot and not on the main line, there is no cause for panic, the officer said.
The Yellow Line connects RV Road with Bommasandra, covering Bengaluru’s IT corridor.
BMRCL plans to operate driverless trains on this stretch in the future.

Rape accused's mother murdered by victim's brother in MP's Shivpuri
Shivpuri (PTI): The 60-year-old mother of a rape accused was killed allegedly by the victim's brother in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district, a police official said on Saturday.
The incident took place on Friday, Rannod police station house officer (SHO) Arvind Chauhan said.
"An anganwadi worker returning from a hospital was offered a lift by one Inder Gurjar, who took her to a secluded spot and raped her. She called up her brothers to narrate the ordeal. One brother of the victim along with two associates went to Gurjar's house and assaulted him. When Gurjar's mother Sirkunwarbai (60) intervened, she was attacked with a sharp weapon. She died on the spot," he said.
Based on a complaint filed by the deceased woman's daughter-in-law, three persons were booked for murder. One of them was held on Saturday, the official added.
A separate case has also been registered against Gurjar for rape, he said.
Police personnel have been deployed in the area in view of tension following the incident, the official added.
