The Trinamool Congress on Monday hit out at the West Bengal police over the Gyaneswari Express derailment, which claimed 148 lives, with a party Member of Parliament saying he did not believe the state director general of police's statement, holding the Maoists responsible for the train tragedy.

Asked to comment on DGP Bhupinder Singh's statement that Maoists were behind the mishap, party MP Kalyan Banerjee told a TV channel, "The DGP is a very foolish person. I don't believe in his statement at all."

Banerjee claimed that the Central Bureau of Investigation had been asked to inquire into the disaster.

"Unless and until the probe is complete, any comment on it would be premature and a foolish opinion," said Banerjee.

The DGP could not be contacted for his comments.
