Gandhinagar: Railway Protection Force (RPF) in Gujarat have registered a case against owners of a herd of buffaloes which collided with the Mumbai-Gandhinagar Vande Bharat Express on Thursday.

Railway police, however, are yet to identify the owners of the buffaloes.

The front part of the engine was damaged, with a cover coming off, when the newly-launched semi-high speed Vande Bharat train hit the cattle around 11.15 am between Vatva and Maninagar stations in Gujarat.

“The RPF has lodged a first information report (FIR) against the unidentified owners of the buffaloes that came in the way of Vande Bharat train between Vatva and Maninagar railway stations in Ahmedabad,” PTI quoted Western Railway’s senior spokesperson (Ahmedabad division) Jitendra Kumar Jayant as saying.

According to RPF inspector Pradeep Sharma, the FIR has been filed under section 147 of Railways Act, 1989.

“The FIR was registered on Thursday evening in connection with the incident in which four buffaloes were killed,” he said.

The trains under Vande Bharat are designed and manufactured in India. The third Vande Bharat series service was flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Gandhinagar on September 30.
