Reportedly, due to the malfunction of the coupling, which is used to connect two bogies together, the bogies separated from the engine.

The incident happened around 10 am and the engine travelled several kilometres away after getting detached from the bogies.

In December last year three bogies of a goods train derailed at the Tankuppa station in Bihar , after which two trains had to be cancelled while several more had to be diverted. The incident is said to have happened due to the jamming of brakes. However, no one was injured in the incident, Railway officials informed.
