Widespread panic broke out at Ajmer railway station in Rajasthan following an alert claiming an explosive device was planted aboard the Jaipur-Asarva train. Railway Protection Force and Government Railway Police personnel immediately sprang into action upon receiving the alert. As soon as the train pulled into the station, security teams initiated a rapid search to avert any potential threat to travelers.
Extensive Search Operation Clears the Train
Security personnel systematically combed through compartments, inspecting luggage and scanning unoccupied sections across the coaches. The thorough inspection lasted approximately half an hour, during which no suspicious or hazardous objects were discovered. Once officials conclusively established that the train was safe, clearance was granted, and the service departed toward its destination at 10:45 pm.
False Alert Triggered Under the Influence of Alcohol
Subsequent inquiries revealed that the distress call had originated from within the train itself. The caller was identified as Nandlal, a resident of Nathdwara who was traveling aboard the express. Preliminary investigation disclosed that he was heavily intoxicated when placing the call, concocting the baseless claim under the influence of liquor.
Suspect Taken into Custody for Interrogation
With the threat verified as an outright hoax, law enforcement officers swiftly detained Nandlal. The Government Railway Police took charge of the suspect and began formal questioning. Investigators are probing the sequence of events to ascertain why he generated the disruptive alert and whether any specific motive guided the reckless act.
