A day after the fatal train mishap between Mumbra and Diva stations claimed four lives and injured several others, two passengers who fell off moving trains continue to remain critical, while eight are reported to be stable, according to hospital authorities.

The accident occurred during Monday morning’s rush hour when two overcrowded Central Railway trains — heading in opposite directions — passed each other on a curved stretch near Mumbra. Eyewitnesses say commuters hanging near the train doors lost balance as bags and bodies collided at high speed, causing some to fall onto the tracks.

Among the deceased were Rahul Gupta, 27, Ketan Saroj, 23, Mayur Shah, 44, and GRP constable Viki Babasaheb Mukhyadal, 33. As of Tuesday evening, the Thane Municipal Corporation confirmed that eight injured passengers remain under medical care. Two other patients, who were initially admitted, were later shifted to Jupiter Hospital due to their critical condition.
