The driver of the New Delhi- Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express is feared to have been kidnapped by suspected Maoists between Jhargram and Sarna stations of the South Eastern Railway this afternoon.
"According to the reports, the drivers could not be contacted. There are fears that they have been kidnapped by Maoists," a source said. All Rajdhani Express trains have two drivers and an assistant.
Pro-maoist group has claimed responsibility for the incident. However, Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist) politburo member Koteshawar Rao has denied his outfit's role in the abduction.
