Short circuit possible cause of train coach fire that killed 5 in India, says official

HYDERABAD, India - An official says at least 25 people have died in a fire that swept through a running train in southern India.

District Collector B. Sridha says the train stopped after fire in one coach was noticed by an official at a railroad station Monday.

He says the fire was believed to have been caused by a short circuit in the coach. It has been extinguished and at least 22 injured people have been hospitalized.

The fire was reported at Nellore, a town nearly 500 kilometers (310 miles) south of Hyderabad in Andhra Pradesh state.

Sridha says the rescue operation is continuing and the death toll is likely to rise.
