UP: Bomb scare forces evacuation of passengers from Akal Takht Express
The object was later confirmed to be a low intensity bomb.
A threat letter too was recovered, police said.
However, while the ANI news agency reported that only passengers from two compartments were evacuated, CNN News18 said that all the passengers were evacuated.
The Amritsar bound train had departed from Kolkata.
The bomb was found near the wash basin in one of the two-tier coaches, reports added.
The letter supposedly warned the government about avenging Abu Dujana's death.
Dujana, a Pakistani national, was a designated Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT) terrorist who was killed in an encounter a few days ago.
