Amritsar Tragedy: 'Honked, applied breaks but could not stop train in time', says train driver

The driver of the train which killed at least 59 people and injured 57 others on Friday in Amritsar, has given a written statement in his defence. The driver, Arvind Kumar, claimed that he had honked at the crowd from 300 metres but people could not hear it due to loud sounds of the burning Ravana effigy and accompanied crackers.
