Mumbai: At least five people died after around 12 passengers allegedly fell off a moving train near Mumbra railway station in Thane on Monday morning, according to a spokesperson for the Central Railway.

The passengers reportedly fell around 9.30 am while the Kasara-bound train, which started from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), was passing through the Diva-Mumbra area.

While authorities are trying to determine what exactly caused the accident, sources said it occurred because the train was overcrowded and passengers were standing on either side of its doors.

According to the Central Railway spokesperson, another train was passing towards the opposite side, resulting in the accident.

The railway authorities said they will share more details once they gain more clarity about what happened.

Following the accident, the Railway Board has decided that all trains being manufactured for the Mumbai Suburban region will have an automatic door-closing feature. Rakes that are in service will also be redesigned, and the same feature will be added.
