Certain media reports quoted the RPF inquiry report on the New Delhi railway station stampede as “wrong and misleading.”

A two-member high-level committee has already been set up by Northern Railway to investigate the incident. More than 100 individual statements are being collected by the committee. After receiving all such statements, the committee will conduct a thorough examination, including cross-questioning, to establish the exact sequence of events that led to the incident. The inquiry report will be submitted by the committee.

It is hereby informed that there is no inquiry being conducted apart from the inquiry being conducted by the high-level committee.

Indian Railways urges media outlets to wait for the final report of the high-level committee in this regard. If there is any information that can help the high-level committee in its inquiry process, please share it directly with the committee members at: pccmnr25[at]gmail[dot]com and/or pcsc@nr.railnet.gov.in.
