At least 11 people have been killed and five injured after they fled rumours of a fire on board their train in India, only to be hit by another train.
 
Railway officials said the passengers got down from the Mumbai-bound train in western Maharashtra state after someone pulled the emergency cord, causing it to stop.
 
They were hit by a train on an adjacent track. It was not immediately clear whether there had actually been a fire.
