Six passengers of the 3049 Howrah-Amritsar Express have been injured as armed robbers assaulted them and looted cash and valuables worth about 1.5 lakh rupees near Simultala railway station in Bihar’s Jamui district lastnight. Official sources said that the dacoits numbering about 25 reportedly boarded the train at either Jashidih or Lahaban station when it had stopped there. They looted passengers in one AC bogey and a sleeper coach and hit with butts of rifles and pistols those who resisted. The robbers pulled the chain and alighted from the train after crossing Simultala under Asansol division of the Eastern Railway. The incident took place barely 48 hours after dacoits assaulted and looted passengers of 3111 up Sealdah-New Delhi Lal Quila Express in Bihar's Lakhisarai district, injuring 21 people including a GRP personnel.
