Three railway officials in India have been arrested by the federal crime agency in connection with a train crash that killed over 290 people last month. The officials have been charged with culpable homicide without murder and destruction of evidence. The crash occurred when a passenger train was mistakenly diverted onto a loop line and collided with a stationary freight train, derailing the passenger train's coaches onto another track where they struck a passing train. India's railway system, one of the world's most extensive, has been plagued by accidents attributed to human error and outdated signaling equipment.
