My guess would be a SPAD or a signalling failure.
My heart goes out to these people, and that is why Health and Safety on the railways is so important.

From what I have read and herd from people in India when I was over there 4 years ago, there is no such thing as Health and Safety.

The express had entered the station in Sainthia town at full speed, even though it had a scheduled stop there, railway officials say.
The driver did not brake or heed numerous stop messages, before the express hit a stationary train.
