We point out that the excess of electron-like neutrino events recently observed by the T2K collaboration may have a common origin with the similar excess events previously reported by the LSND and MiniBooNE experiments and interpreted as a signal from the radiative decays of a sterile neutrino \nu_h with the mass around 50 MeV produced in muon neutrino neutral current (NC) interactions. In this work we assumed that the \nu_h can also be produced in tau neutrino NC reactions.
