NEW DELHI, Thursday (Reuters)

Rescue workers have pulled 105 bodies from the twisted wreckage of a luxury train that jumped the tracks in eastern India, a government official said. The high-speed Rajdhani Express, heading from Calcutta to New Delhi, veered off the rails on an old bridge near Rafiganj, 210 km (130 miles) south of Patna in Bihar state.

Railway officials suspect sabotage, possibly by Maoist rebels in the area, but Deputy Prime Minister Lal Krishna Advani said on Tuesday the information he had suggested it was an accident.
