Agra Cantt Railway Station Clash: Indian Railways has suspended four RPF (Railway Protection Force) personnel seen in a viral video allegedly assaulting a Deputy Station Superintendent (Dy SS) at Agra Cantt station. The incident took place after train number 20808 Amritsar-Visakhapatnam Hirakund Express, which arrived at Agra Cantt station at 10:51 hrs as per its scheduled stoppage, started departing from the station and stopped again shortly thereafter.

Following the stoppage, a dispute reportedly took place between the RPF personnel and the Operations Department. Some videos of the incident went viral on social media, allegedly showing RPF staff engaging in unruly behaviour with the Dy SS.

Speaking to Indianexpress.com, Dr Shivam Sharma, Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) of North Central Railway (NCR) said: “There was some confusion between RPF and Dy SS regarding the cause of halting of train.” Sharma said an enquiry is under way.
