Nagpur (Maharashtra): The 12611 Chennai-Nizamuddin Express was halted at Nagpur station in Maharashtra on Saturday night for over an hour after someone alerted the police about a bomb on board, said an official.
Reportedly, a thorough check was carried out by railway police, Railway Protection Force personnel and dog squads, and the train which was stopped at 8:45pm, was allowed to resume its journey at 10pm.
"Someone alerted Pune railway police about a bomb threat and the message was passed to Nagpur police, after which a check was conducted. The information turned out to be false," he said.
"A sniffer dog led the police to four men from Jhansi, travelling in a coach of the train, carrying 10 kilograms of urea," he added.
The four reportedly worked in a urea manufacturing company in Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh and were let off after they gave satisfactory replies to the railway police.
