Eastern Railway sources said after the train departed, the woman, aged around 35 and later identified as Manjushree, started shouting that a bomb had been kept in one of the AC 3-tier coaches of the train.
The Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP) personnel took the woman for interrogation, while a message was sent to the train crew, who stopped the train at Dankuni station and alerted the passengers. A RPF bomb squad and dog squad carried out a thorough check in all the coaches at Dankuni, but found nothing.
