Nepanagar: A conspiracy to blow up a military special train was uncovered in Madhya Pradesh’s Nepanagar on September 18. Officials reported that 10 detonators were placed on the railway tracks in an attempt to derail the train. The incident occurred near the Sagfata railway station, but the plot was thwarted when the train passed over the detonators, causing an explosion that alerted the driver, who promptly stopped the train and informed the station master, thus preventing a major accident.

Investigation Underway

Top officials from multiple agencies, including the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), National Investigation Agency (NIA), Railways, and local police, rushed to the scene to inspect the site. Given the involvement of a military train, authorities are maintaining strict confidentiality about the details of the investigation.

Use of Expired Fog Detonators

Officials clarified that the detonators used were fog detonators, not those based on RDX. Typically, fog detonators are placed on railway tracks to produce sound, alerting train pilots during foggy conditions. However, in this case, the miscreants managed to acquire expired detonators and placed ten of them on the track simultaneously. The detonators were not authorized or placed by railway authorities, raising further concerns about how they were obtained.

Expanding the Investigation

The attempted attack took place at 1:48 pm on September 18, targeting a military special train traveling from Jammu and Kashmir to Karnataka. On Saturday afternoon, officials from the police department, including DSP, Nepanagar SDOP, and station authorities, inspected the scene, while later in the evening, teams from the NIA, ATS, and other intelligence agencies arrived in Khandwa to broaden the investigation into the incident.

The authorities are now working to identify the individuals responsible for this failed attempt and to prevent any future threats to military and civilian trains.
