Mathura train accident: What caused train to derail, climb onto platform?

A total of five railway employees were suspended after an Electric Multiple Unit (EMU) train broke the buffer dead end and climbed platform number two of Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura railway station on Tuesday. However, no casualties were reported as passengers had de-boarded the train.

While the matter is being investigated at a higher level, a joint report in the incident found that a staffer named Sachin was watching his mobile phone while handling the train and was also mildly drunk.

A video of the incident is making the rounds on social media, in which a man — distracted by his phone — can be seen entering the main coach and putting his bag down.
