The 3AC Coaches B1 and B2 broke away from the rest of the coaches and the tank of the toilet in B1 caved in, causing the train to come to a grinding halt.

As per one senior railway official, the train had slowed down as it approached the station, thereby preventing an accident. He further added that officials had rushed to the spot and replaced the detached coaches.
