A coach attendant was killed and another seriously injured when they were shot at apparently by two ticketless travellers inside a running express train in Burdwan district in the wee hours of Saturday.
Jalandhar is a stronghold of Dera Sach Khand, a Sikh sect comprised of mainly Dalits who took to the streets in protest against the death of one of their gurus Sant Raman Nand during a clash between rival Sikh communities in a Vienna Gurudwara.
They were charged with dereliction of duty.
No one was injured in the incident, which occurred at about 2200 IST at Jatowal, 40km from Jammu, when the train was on its way to Delhi.
