An FIR has been registered in connection with the low-intensity blast that took place on board the Kanpur-Bhiwani Kalindi Express near Kanpur on Wednesday.
The FIR was registered at Government Railway Police (GRP) Station, Farukhabad on Thursday.
The explosion had occurred in the washroom of a general compartment of the train when it stopped at Barrajpur station, 30 km from Kanpur, around 7.10 pm on Wednesday, railway officials said.
