Kanpur: Several train passengers, many of them sleeping, were robbed by armed men early this morning at a railway station in Uttar Pradesh's Kanpur. The gang attacked three trains that had stopped just outside the station, waiting to enter.
The Vaishali Express, the Lokmanya Tilak Express and a local train were attacked around dawn. It is not clear how the robbers entered the coaches, which are usually double-barred for night journeys.
"I was sleeping...when I woke up, I saw four men with knives and guns," said Lala, a passenger with his head bandaged from a knife wound.
A few others were also injured.
"Our trains were at Kanpur outer near a bridge. I saw a passenger stabbed in his thigh," said Railway policeman Shyamvrat Singh Yadav.
