The incident took place at around 6:40 a.m. local time near Maharashtra's Titwala area in Mumbai.

Last week, 42 people were injured after 11 coaches of the Kaifiyat Express, traveling to the capital, New Delhi, went off the rails after it hit a truck loaded with construction material.

On August 19, 23 people were killed and 123 injured in a derailment near the Hindu holy city of Haridwar in the northern state of Uttar Pradesh, prompting the suspension of three senior railways officials, with others sent on leave.
