Lucknow: Several passengers on board the Delhi-bound GT Express were robbed on Saturday when armed robbers stormed into the train near Agra, police said.

The incident took place between Agra and Mathura on the Grand Trunk (GT) Express coming from Chennai.

The robbers entered a three-tier air-conditioned bogie and robbed the passengers at gun point.
They also beat up passengers when some of them tried to resist them. They later decamped with the loot before the train halted at the Mathura railway station, a police officer said.

Passengers lodged a first information report or FIR with the Government Railway Police or GRP at Mathura and also created a ruckus at the station.
