Maoist supporters have been blamed for hijacking a train on Wednesday, but the FIR filed by the Railway Police doesn't name any one in specific for the crime. And the CRPF does. The Railway Police's FIR states that the New Delhi-bound Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express was blocked by unknown persons. A Maoist-backed group allegedly held up the train for more than four hours at Banstala Halt near West Midnapore's Jhargram station on Wednesday.
1257 trains are escorted by 3904 RPF personnel daily.
