Angry over Railways' decision to withdraw stoppage of several trains at Khusrupur station in Bihar, protesters torched the third train since Monday morning.
Four bogies of Danapur-Rajgir passenger train were torched near Kushrupur station however, no injuries have been reported so far.
Earlier the protesters had ransacked and torched the Khusrupur station, attacked the Intercity Express and uprooted rail lines under Danapur division, about 32 kilometers from Patna.
The air-conditioned coach of Danapur-Darbhanga Intercity Express was set on fire at Fathua station near Patna by people who were angry with Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee who had ordered that the Shramjivi Express – a train that runs between Delhi and Patna – will now no longer halt at other stations near Patna.
However, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee has denied that she ordered the cancellation of stoppages.
