An incident of stone-pelting on the Vande Bharat Express train travelling from Sabarmati to Veraval has come to light in Gujarat's Amreli district, causing a stir in the railway administration. According to reports, the incident occurred between Lathi and Khijdiya, where unknown persons targeted the train by throwing stones. In this attack, the glass of one coach was shattered, causing damage to the coach.

According to available information, while the Vande Bharat Express was passing through the railway track between Lathi and Khijdiya, unknown individuals suddenly began pelting stones. Due to this unexpected attack, the train's glass broke into pieces.

Upon learning of the incident, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and police teams became active immediately. Teams from both departments reached the spot and initiated the investigation process. Preliminary investigations have revealed that the passengers on the train did not see the persons who pelted the stones, making it difficult to identify the accused. Currently, the police and RPF are conducting a survey and investigation in the entire area between Lathi and Khijdiya.

Regarding this incident, Atul Tripathi, Senior DCM of the Bhavnagar Railway Division, stated that an incident of stone-pelting occurred on the Vande Bharat Express and a deep investigation is being conducted by the concerned officials. This stone-pelting on a state-of-the-art train like the Vande Bharat, considered a national asset, has raised several questions about the railway's security arrangements.
