The incident took place close to Safedabad Railway Station in Barabanki, with the train eventually arriving in Lucknow at 10:40 am.

As per India Today, this incident coincided with a virtual program led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, centered around the beautification of railway stations.

Barabanki’s Railway Police have launched an investigation into the incident, focusing on identifying the individuals responsible.
