Regarding this occurrence, a statement has also been released by the Railway Ministry. It claims that the disaster occurred because the bunk was not properly fitted with a chain.

The train then came to a stop, and the passenger was transferred right away to the closest hospital. As to the Onmanorama news portal report, the patient passed away while receiving medical attention. The Railway Ministry has now provided clarification on this incident.

The passenger was taken to a hospital in Warangal, Telangana, after the upper berth collapsed. The passenger was paralyzed and had three shattered neck bones, according to the report.
