Seeks to clarify that RPF report is from a single officer and doesn't represent a formal probe
The investigation into the stampede at New Delhi Railway Station last Saturday is progressing rapidly, with a special inquiry team of two members reviewing statements from hundreds of people, including railway employees from various departments, according to officials in the railway ministry.
Sources say the team is on track to finalise the investigation report at the earliest.
The Ministry of Railways is reportedly preparing to take stern punitive action against those found responsible for the incident, regardless of their rank following the inquiry committee report.
