It was not immediately known whether there was any casualty.

The group was protesting against controversial remarks of suspended Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Nupur Sharma on Prophet Mohammad.

 

The officer said a large number of protestors put up a road blockade and when they were chased by the police, some of them entered the station and threw stones at the train which was on a platform.

Train services on the Lalgola line have been affected due to the attack, he said.
