The Tapti Ganga Express, traveling from Surat to Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh Mela, came under attack near Jalgaon, Maharashtra. Stones hurled at the train shattered the windows of the B6 coach, sparking fear among pilgrims, 45% of whom were headed to the event. A video shared online highlighted the broken windows and passengers' appeals for increased security. Railways have heightened police presence on the train, while authorities investigate the incident to determine if it was a random act or part of a larger plan. With 45 crore expected at Maha Kumbh, safety concerns have been amplified.
