Workers charged with culpable homicide and destruction of evidence after one of country's deadliest rail accidents

Three men have been arrested in India over a triple-train collision that killed nearly 300 people last month, one of the worst rail accidents in the country's history, police have said.

The train crash in eastern Odisha state occurred when a packed passenger train was mistakenly diverted on to a loop line and hit a stationary goods train.
