"Despite seven RPF personnel on the train, the dacoity took place. I have ordered suspension of all of them [RPF personnel]," he said.

The minister said one dacoit boarded the train at Mughalsarai without a confirmed ticket and when the train stopped at the next station, he along with two others entered a three-tier sleeper coach and robbed the passengers.
