Bhopal, May 18 -- A bomb threat that halted the Kamayani Express at Khandwa Junction on Saturday afternoon was flagged as a hoax following an hour-long search conducted by personnel assisted by sniffer dogs.
Train 11072 Kamayani Express was stopped on arrival at 1 PM. All 22 coaches-including two generator cars-were searched by sniffer dogs and security teams.
GRP Station In-charge MP Thakkar said the train was near Talwadia, 16 km from Khandwa, when the alert came in. Local police were also informed and mobilised.
Personnel from the GRP and Railway Protection Force (RPF) screened luggage and questioned passengers. Nothing suspicious was found, and the train resumed its journey at 1:56 PM.
