Suspected Naxalites are said to have removed fish plates from railway tracks on the Vishakhapattam-Kirandul route that led to the derailment of thirteen bogies and two engines of a freight train on Wednesday in Chhattisgarh's Maoist-hit Bastar District.
The empty freight train derailed between the villages of Kaklur and Kumar Sandra this morning, leading to rail traffic disruption on the route, media reports said.
The bogies and two engines fell from the bridge located on a small rivulet in the area.
Police are currently not ruling out the hand of Naxals in the incident.
