The search spread across the 16 platforms began after a telephone call was received at 4.10 a.m. and went on for about five hours. The caller said the bomb was placed inside one of the trains, a senior railway official said.

The Government Railway Police and Railway Protection Force carried out the search, Northern Railway spokesperson Neeraj Sharma told IANS.
