Rajdhani held hostage in Naxal land
The Bhubaneswar-New Delhi Rajdhani Express slowed down and stopped at Banstala, near Kharagpur, at 2.35 pm on Tuesday. About 300 flag-waving activists, armed with axes, swords, bows and arrows surrounded it. They had placed wooden logs across the tracks.
Activists of the Maoist-backed People's Committee Against Police Atrocities (PCPA), pelted stones at the train, breaking some glass windows and injuring at least one passenger.
They next abducted the train's driver K. Anand Rao and his assistant K.G. Rao, assaulted some passengers, and finally called up the office of the railway manager at Kharagpur, 145 km east of Kolkata. The driver and his assistant were released five hours later.
