ATS and police have detained Mahakdeep Kaur and Devendra Singh from Punjab in connection with the 3 November blast on the Anupgarh‑Suratgarh line in Shri Ganganagar, Rajasthan.
On 3 November, a blast disrupted the Anupgarh‑Suratgarh railway line in Shri Ganganagar district, Rajasthan. The incident prompted a swift investigation by the Anti‑Terrorism Squad (ATS) and local police.
Investigators say the explosion appears to be part of a larger conspiracy to sabotage the railway track, allegedly coordinated through a signal from Pakistan. The plot reportedly involved a modest financial arrangement, described in reports as "30,000" rupees.
During the operation, ATS officers arrested two individuals from Gurudaspur, Punjab: Mahakdeep Kaur, a woman, and Devendra Singh, a man. Both are now in custody and are being interrogated for their role in the alleged scheme.
Authorities have not released further details about the motive or any additional suspects. The railway line has been cleared and services are gradually being restored under heightened security measures.
The case underscores ongoing concerns about cross‑border infiltration and the safety of critical infrastructure in northern India.
