Four CRPF personnel were injured in a minor explosion, which was reported at platform number two of the Raipur Railway station in Chhattisgarh state on Saturday early morning.
All the injured were rushed to a nearby hospital.
“The blast took place at around 6:30 am; it was caused when a box containing 29 detonators fell on the floor in a CRPF Special Train at the railway station,” Indian news channel India Today reported.
