According to the reports, 100 army men from Ramgarh had to go to Delhi by Rajdhani train. For some reason, it it seemed difficult to move to Ranchi hence, the army men chose Barkakana as it is comparatively closer.

Using the maximum speed of Rajdhani train, the train reached Barkakana station at 7.08 pm, which is 17 minutes ahead of the scheduled time.
