Two held in Rajasthan railway track blast case; police cite Pakistani handler links
Two people were arrested from Punjab’s Gurdaspur over the November 3 blast in Ramsinghpur, and police say they allegedly acted on instructions from Pakistan-based handlers
Two individuals have been arrested in connection with a low-intensity railway track explosion in Rajasthan's Sri Ganganagar district. The incident, which took place on November 3, 2026, occurred near village 50 GB and damaged two railway sleepers, creating a crater approximately 2.5 feet deep. The arrested individuals are 21-year-old Mahakdeep Kaur and her associate Devendra Singh.
The investigation is probing a suspected Pakistan-backed module and possible links to the ISI. According to officials, Mahakdeep Kaur was allegedly in contact with two Pakistan-based handlers named Shah and Chacha. She reportedly received around ₹30,000 for her involvement in the blast, which was carried out using two firearms, 46 cartridges, and ₹30,000 in cash.
The arrests were made in a joint operation by the Rajasthan Anti-Terrorism Squad, Sri Ganganagar Police, and Punjab Police. The incident is being investigated as a potential target by the Pakistan ISI to disrupt passenger train travel in India. Authorities are questioning the arrested individuals and examining the alleged links with the Pakistan-based handlers, as well as identifying any other members of the suspected module. The investigation is ongoing, and further details are expected as more information emerges.
