Maoists blasted a portion of a railway track between Ismailpur and Rafiganj section in Bihar, leading to derailment of a pilot engine running ahead of the Bhubaneshwar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express.
No casualty was reported in the blast that took place late Tuesday night, Deputy Inspector General of Police, Magadh range, P.K. Shrivastava told PTI.
In Patna, Chief Public Relations Officer, East Central Railway, Arvind Kumar Rajak said the advance pilot engine running ahead of Bhubaneshwar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express jumped off the track due to the incident.
Nearly one dozen mail and Express trains including three Rajdhani Express trains have been stranded at various places between Gaya and Mughalsarai due to the incident, Mr. Rajak said.
Opposition BJP has made a hue and cry over both the firing incidents in the bicameral Bihar Legislature demanding judicial inquiry in the incidents.
The state government defended the firing as part of self-defence by security forces who were targeted by a mob.
