As per report he fought for six long days in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of a hospital in Hyderabad. Despite surgeries and even amputating his right limb, L chandrasekhar, the loco pilot steering the MMTS (Multi-Modal Transport System) train, which rammed into an Intercity Express on monday, finally succumbed on Saturday. Meanwhile the doctors treating him at CARE Hospital in Nampally said that he suffered a cardiac arrest on saturday evening, which led to his death.
Furthermore chandrasekhar, who was in the ICU of the hospital and on mechanical ventilator support, had undergone a surgery on Thursday. Perhaps chandrasekhar has been named as an accused in the accident case, as officials had pinned the blame on him. Railway officials who conducted a preliminary inquiry claimed that the loco pilot was at fault, as he had crossed a red signal, in turn, causing the collision and a case has also been registered against chandrasekhar by the government Railway police (GRP) at Kacheguda in hyderabad under sections 308 (attempt to commit culpable homicide), 337 (causing hurt by an act which endangers human life) and 338 (causing grievous hurt by an act which endangers human life) of the indian Penal Code (IPC).
Moreover the train accident, which was even caught on camera, had left 17 people injured. Perhaps many of them sustained minor injuries and were discharged after availing treatment.
