Dhaka, March 18 -- Railway officials suspect that the Nilsagar Express went off the track in Bogura's Adamdighi after the driver "did not heed warning signals".

A railways ministry official said on Wednesday night that the driver ignored banners and messages, alongside official orders before the crash.

The train, carrying Eid-bound passengers from Dhaka to Chilahati in Nilphamari, departed the capital at 6:45am and stopped at Santahar station around 2pm before continuing toward Tilakpur.

Shortly after, at Bagmari in Adamdighi, nine of the 13 coaches derailed, leaving 66 passengers injured.
