CALCUTTA, India (AP) — A doctor says at least 30 people died when an overnight passenger train was derailed by suspected sabotage and then hit by another train in eastern India.

E. Mitra, a doctor at a railway hospital, says 30 bodies have been brought to the hospital from the site in West Bengal state following the accident Friday.
