According to reports, a stone was hurled at the window of coach B-6, shattering the glass window at berths 33-39. Passengers in the AC coach, horrified by the loud crash of the broken glass, promptly recorded videos and reported the incident to the authorities.
Popular X influencer, 'Sinha' shared the videos and wrote, “Multiple coaches were attacked... Passengers are claiming that it was a targeted attack because the train was going to Mahakumbh.”
