evidence: The claim: Social media users are sharing the video, claiming that it shows Bahanaga's station master Mohammed Sharif – the "primary accused" in Odisha’s train accident near Balasore – being thrashed after hiding in a madarsa in West Bengal. [...] The South Eastern Railways' Chief Public Relations (CPRO) refuted any claims of Bahanaga Bazar's railway staffers going missing or absconding. [...] Is the real station master absconding?: We came across a tweet on the railway spokesperson's Twitter account, where Chaudhary issued a statement on 20 June, refuting all claims of railway staffers going missing or absconding "There are a few media reports that say that staff members of Bahanaga Bazar are absconding or missing. This is factually inaccurate. All staff members of the station are present and are a part of the enquiry," he said, adding that they were all cooperating with investigating agencies.
