"A railway officer from Kanpur rang me up and asked me to be ready to depose before the competent officer regarding my statement that wheels of Indore-Patna Express made some strange sounds on November 19," Sharma (35), a resident of Kherkheda village in MP's Mandsaur district, told PTI today.
Sharma said he was ready to cooperate and record his statement in any probe "though I have not been informed when and where I am supposed to depose."
"On November 19, I boarded (sleeper coach) S-2 of Indore-Patna Express around 2 PM at Indore and after an hour I alighted at Ujjain. I informed an officer in railway uniform in my coach about the strange sound of the wheels. But he didn't take it seriously," he had told reporters yesterday.
Sharma had said that he didn't know the name of that official.
