2 held for assaulting local train passengers
Patna/Ara: Two teenagers from Bhojpur district have been arrested for attacking train passengers with sticks as a local passenger train crossed Nagri Halt, located between Piro and Garhani stations on the Ara-Sasaram section under the DDU division of East Central Railway (ECR). The assault, captured on video and widely circulated, triggered public outrage and raised fresh concerns about passenger safety. According to DDU RPF commandant Jethin B Raj, the video showed the duo hitting passengers standing at the gates of the moving train with wooden sticks. "The footage was disturbing and prompted immediate action. We tracked down the accused with the help of local intelligence and digital evidence," he said, adding that several passengers sustained minor injuries. Sasaram RPF inspector Sanjeev Kumar said the arrests were made after investigators identified the youths using photos, videos and digital traces. "Based on the material, two accused, both 19 years old from Milki Tola village under Charpokhari police station, were arrested," he said. The arrested youths have been booked under multiple sections of the Railway Act. An FIR has been lodged at the Bikramganj RPF post and further investigation is underway under sub-inspector N K Azad to trace others possibly involved. "We are working closely with the GRP and local police to ensure such incidents are not repeated. Patrolling will be intensified in vulnerable stretches," an ECR official said.
