New Delhi:
Railways on Friday stopped the New Delhi-Dibrugarh Rajdhani Express at Dadri after a passenger claimed that there are 5 bombs in the train, which later turned out to be a hoax call. Sanjeev Singh Gurjar took to Twitter and wrote, "I want to inform that there are 5 bombs in a train rajdhani(12424) going from new delhi to kanpur central. Please take some action on this quickly. @RailMinIndia @PiyushGoyal @DelhiPolice @IRCTCofficial." Soon after getting the message, the security forces came into action and stopped the train in Dadri.
