Students clash with armymen

Bhagalpur: For the second time in four days, students forced their way into a passenger train in Bihar and got into a scuffle with armymen, breaking window panes and injuring nearly a dozen passengers.

Scores of students boarded a sleeper class coach of Guwahati-Delhi Brahmaputra Mail at Kahalgaon station and got into heated arguments with some armymen and passengers over seat-sharing which soon escalated into a fight.

When the train reached Bhagalpur, the students got down and began throwing stones at the train, smashing window panes of a number of coaches, official sources said.

Around a dozen people, including some passengers, received minor injuries in the incident, the sources said.
