Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express had a miraculous escape when ten of its coaches and the engine derailed near Gaya station following an explosion triggered by Maoists. The accident took place late last night between Kasta and Paraiya stations under Gaya-Mughalsarai section of the East Central Railway. Rail traffic was disrupted in the section since midnight last night as cranes were engaged to remove the affected bogies. Passengers were taken to Mughalsarai by a rescue train from where a special train was arranged to send them to New Delhi.
The explosive planted in the tracks between Kasta and Paraiya stations went off shortly after the train left Gaya station, district Superintendent of Police Sushil Khopde said, adding a medical team with rescue train was sent to the spot. There was no casualty or serious injury, Khopde said, adding none of the derailed bogies fell on its side which possibly was the reason why no casualty took place.
