Marathi ABVP workers attacked near Allahabad

This led to rumours that Maharashtrians had attacked north Indians. Angry locals then stopped the train and started pelting stones at the compartment. Personnel of GRP and police rushed in to disperse the crowd.

The injured are Deepak Kolpatte, Aniket Palsetkar and Sandesh Dutta 8212; all from Mumbai. They were coming from Patna, where they had gone to attend a conference. On their complaint, the GRP lodged an FIR against the unidentified men.

The injured were given first aid at Allahabad junction, where workers of Vishwa Hindu Parishad and Bajrang Dal held a demonstration against the attack. The incident delayed the train by three hours.
