An independent probe from the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) is unlikely in the Jalgaon train tragedy due to the negligence of passengers, according to railway sources.

Experts say the CRS probe is unlikely because the passengers' actions were deemed negligent.

Passengers had ample time to move to safer locations but remained on the side tracks, ultimately leading to the tragic incident.
