A call of fire incident involving the train was received by the Delhi Fire Services around 9.04 pm.

The fire had started on the roof of the B-10 coach where over head equipment(OHE) is located.
"The fire started due to some dried inflammable item dropped on the OHE," the officer said.
A railways official said that a cloth was dropped on the OHE from a bridge at the Sabzi Mandi station that caught fire due to the spark of the engine as it crossed the area.
