Kolkata: Unidentified miscreants on Monday pelted stones at the newly-launched Vande Bharat Express near Malda’s Kumarganj station in West Bengal.
Even though no passengers were injured, the glass of a door of coach number C-13 was shattered because of the impact. Following the incident, Railway authorities have started a probe, and have registered a case under section 154 of the Railways Act.
“There was a case of stone pelting on the New Jalpaiguri–Howrah Vande Bharat Express at Kumarganj around 5:50 pm on Monday. One main door-glass was affected. None were injured. There was no delay in the schedule,” said a senior railway official.
PM Modi flagged off West Bengal’s first Vande Bharat Express on Friday, and it commenced passenger service on January 1.
