The report further mentioned that &#8220;according to reports, Bahanaga Assistant Station Master S B Mohanty, who was on duty, fled from the spot after the train accident took place.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then on June 5, Kalinga TV published another <a href=\"https:\/\/kalingatv.com\/state\/odisha-train-accident-interrogation-of-bahanaga-station-master-underway\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report<\/a> with the headline: &#8220;Odisha Train Accident: Interrogation of Bahanaga Station Master underway.&#8221; The report mentioned that Mohanty was being interrogated by the Railway Safety Commissioner team regarding the train accident on June 2.<\/p>\n<p>We contacted two senior IPS officers from Odisha who confirmed to us that none of the station staff was absconding and police were in touch with them. One of them said there was no one named &#8216;Sharif&#8217; among the station staff. Another one said, &#8220;All the station staff are available. They are attending inquiries at different levels\/places.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Further, we reached out to a senior Bhubeneswar-based journalist with a national English daily who covered the accident. He said on Monday, &#8220;All of this is a rumour. He is not absconding and is cooperating with the authorities in the investigation. Mohanty travelled to Khurdah late last night to join the probe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Railways PRO Nihar Mohanty, too, confirmed to Alt News that S B Mohanty was not absconding.<\/p>\n<p>To check the authenticity of the image used by @Manv1994 in his tweet, we ran a reverse image search, which led us to a website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vikaschander.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">vikaschander.com<\/a>.
