Reportedly, no suspicious object was found in the train during the search. After this, the train proceeded towards the destination, informed CPRO, Central Railway.

Earlier last week, the Puri-New Delhi Purushottam Express was delayed for over three hours at Tundla Railway Station in Uttar Pradesh following a bomb threat.

It was then reported that suspected terrorists were allegedly traveling with explosives in the train. The alert was received through an X (formerly Twitter) user. However, it was later turned out to be a hoax after thorough investigations.
