a relief engine to move the stalled train. Despite receiving authorization to proceed at a maximum speed of 15 kmph, the Chief Loco Inspector allegedly pressured the Locopilot to run the engine at 50 kmph, citing delays to other trains. The All India Loco Running Staff Association protested this action, arguing that the Locopilots were following safety rules and that the CLI's actions were a threat to safety. They called for the removal of such officials from safety-oriented departments.

It's just rumor. The actual chargesheet says something else. LPs might be trying to save themselves from the actual fault by making this rumor of CLI instructing them to run at more speed. Need investigation looking into both sides.
