"CBI team has reached the accident site in Balasore. Inquiry is being done," said Rinkesh Roy, Divisional Railway Manager, East Coast Railway.

"This incident (Odisha train accident) is TMC's conspiracy. Why have they been panicking so much since yesterday when this incident is of another State? Why are they afraid of CBI investigation?

This should come in the CBI investigation. If it doesn't come, I will go to court, says West Bengal LoP and BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari.
