The report contradicts the view held so farthat the mob which attacked the train threwinflammable liquid at the train using buckets and cansfrom a distance, even while the passengers had shutall the windows and doors of the compartment.To recreate how the crime must have been committed, atrain bogie was placed at the same spot. Using avariety of different containers, it was doused withliquid for experimental observation.The report said the height of the window of the bogiewas found to be seven feet. In these circumstances, itwas not possible to throw inflammable liquids into thebogie from the outside with the help of a bucket or ajerry-can because by this method most of the liquidfell outside the bogie.At the spot of the incident, at about a distance of 14feet, there was a mound of gravel-stones about 3 feethigh. It was spread parallel to the bogie for a longdistance. The FSL officials, standing on the mound,threw water on the windows of the bogie, of which onlyabout 10 to 15 per cent entered the bogie. The restfell on the outside. Since, a major portion of theinflammable liquid fell on the tracks and around it,it would have caused damage on the outside of thebogie and under it.The report says, "after inspecting the bogie and thetracks, it was found that there is no effect of firebelow the windows. Taking this fact into account andthe burning pattern on the outside of the bogie, theconclusion is that no inflammable liquid was throwninto the bogie from the outside". It further says, "italso does not look possible that inflammable liquidwas thrown in from the doors of the bogie".As a next step, using a bucket, about 60 litres ofwater was thrown into the passage of the compartmentfrom one side and then a large part of the bogie wascovered. Water thrown like this went only in onedirection, no part of it flowed outside from the opendoors or in the direction of the latrine."On the basis of this experimental observation, theconclusion is that standing in the passage of thecompartment near seat number 72, using a containerwith a wide opening, about 60 litres of inflammableliquid has been poured and then immediately a fire hasbeen started in the bogie," the report says.The FSL report further says that "it appears thatthree of the four doors of the compartment were openwhen it was burning while all the windows were shut.The pattern of burning (allegatoring pattern) showsthat the intensity of the heat was four times moretowards the eastern side (towards seat no. 72 of thebogies".source > <a href="http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Articleshow.asp?art_id=14794899" target="_blank">http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Articleshow.asp?art_id=14794899</a></blockquote>
