things are not as it seemed at first. it was found to be a case of suicide. as per the witnesses there were a couple standing there. it is conculded that they may have immolated themselves. the injured (read Burnt) passangers had really escaped due to the timely intervention of one Mr Basanna Vishnu, Diesel Mechanic at Gulbarga Station.

Trains must not halt, if idle for more than an hour, at platforms. Originating trains must not arrive at platforms before 30 to 45 minutes of scheduled departure. More ticket counters may be provided at platform no. 3 side and also more checking must be done at both sides of Gulbarga station. Staff and public must become more vigilant.

Yes sunil i agree with you,we need to be more alert and make sure any kind of irregular activities are done inside the station environment.
Some police men should always monitor the people when the train arrives at station.
Really saddened by this incident,RIP 🙁
