An inquiry by the Commissioner of Railway Safety of Northern Circle, Bhupinder Singh, into the fire on the Samjhauta Express on February 18 has concluded that bomb explosions caused the blaze, according to The Hindu. The explosions and the subsequent fire killed 68 people and injured 12 at the Diwana station near Panipat on the Delhi-Ambala double line. The incident took place around 23.49 hours. After examining all evidence collected at the site and from inspection of the burnt coaches and obtaining forensic proof, it was concluded that it was a well-planned attack. ``Based on the evidence available so far, the Commissioner of Railway Safety has come to the `tentative conclusion' that the fire on the train in 4001 Up Delhi-Attari Special was caused because of the explosion of bombs kept on the upper racks near the doorways in coach numbers GS 03431 and GS 14857 of the train,'' the inquiry report said.
