The ongoing protest by job aspirants and students turned violent when a large number of agitators set several coaches of the New Delhi-bound Shramjeevi Express train on fire in Bihar's Gaya.

As a large number of protesters were protesting in Patna, Arrah and Buxar, the Rajgir-New Delhi Shramjeevi express train was diverted towards Gaya to go to Deen Dayal Upadhyay (Mugal Sarai) and then further towards New Delhi.
