Nagpur: A young couple from Nagpur, who were returning by the ill-fated Gyaneshwari Express after a honeymoon vacation to Darjeeling, are yet to be traced.
Amit Gajbhiye, an employee at a private firm, and his wife Anita, a school teacher, were among the passengers who boarded the Kurla-bound train at Howrah station.
Both had spoken to their parents before leaving for Nagpur, family said.
In what is believed to be a case of sabotage engineered by Maoists, 13 coaches of an express train went off the tracks with five of them crushed by a goods train coming from opposite direction on May 28.
The death toll had touched 148 on Sunday even as more bodies are being pulled out from the wreckage of the mangled coaches.
After the news of the mishap broke, parents of the couple rushed to Nagpur railway station to enquire about their whereabouts.
They also scanned the list of the dead and injured travellers admitted in three hospitals at Kharagpur and West Midnapore, they said.
They reached the mishap spot later and are on the look out for the couple since then.
"Here family members are anxiously awaiting a call but even after four days, there is no news from anywhere," they said.
