The Chennai Central Government Railway Police (GRP) filed a case and are searching for offenders who pelted stones on an empty rake of the Cauvery Express near the Tiruvottiyur railway station late on January 6
A senior official of the GRP said an empty rake with more than 20 coaches was proceeding from the Ennore railway depot when a few miscreants pelted stones which resulted in the window glasses fixed in seven coaches, including the pantry car and six air-conditioned coaches, getting damaged.
The information was relayed to the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the GRP personnel immediately. A team of GRP officials enquired with the guard of the train who said some miscreants hiding in the bushes pelted stones at around 2 a.m. The GRP has undertaken a track patrol and plans to look into the footage of closed circuit television cameras in the vicinity.
