NEW DELHI—India’s federal crime agency Friday said it has arrested three railway officials in connection with one of the country’s deadliest train accidents that killed more than 290 people last month.

The arrested men have been charged with culpable homicide without murder and destruction of evidence, a statement from the Central Bureau of Investigation said. The statement identified them as two signal engineers and one technician, and said the investigation is ongoing.
