Sri Ganganagar, November 15, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
The parents of Mahakdeep Kaur, one of the two people arrested in connection with the November 3 explosion on a railway track in Rajasthan’s Sri Ganganagar district, have described their daughter as difficult to counsel, saying she often left home without informing them.
Kaur and another accused, Devendra Singh, both residents of Punjab’s Gurdaspur district, have been arrested in the case involving the blast near 50 GB village in the Ramsinghpur area. Police have also detained other alleged associates, officials said on Sunday.
Kaur’s father, Trilok Singh, told reporters that his daughter had left home two days before the explosion and returned three days after the incident. He said the family had repeatedly tried to advise her but eventually stopped after their efforts failed.
Her mother, Sarbjit Kaur, said Kaur would leave home at her own discretion and return whenever she wished.
According to her mother, Kaur studied up to Class 12, married by choice and divorced her husband after two years of marriage. The divorce took place around six months ago, she said.
Meanwhile, police are questioning the arrested suspects, with senior officers supervising the investigation. Bikaner Range Inspector General of Police Omprakash and Sri Ganganagar Superintendent of Police Harishankar are questioning them, while IPS officer Nitin Chaudhary, Circle Officer (City), is overseeing the probe. Police said further details were expected to emerge during interrogation.
The explosion occurred shortly after a passenger train had passed the affected stretch on November 3. Railway authorities suspended train movement as a precaution, resulting in the cancellation of several trains.
Services resumed on November 5 after repair work and safety inspections, North Western Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Amit Sudarshan confirmed.
The Railways subsequently lodged a complaint against unidentified persons at Ramsinghpur police station, following which police registered a case and began an investigation. The precise circumstances and motive behind the blast remain subject to the ongoing probe.
