Patna, Sep 13 - Eleven men have been arrested for their involvement in setting a train on fire in Bihar last month following an altercation between students and railway personnel, police said Sunday.
The 11 were arrested after they were identified through video clippings provided by television news channels as being part of the group that torched the Shramjivi Express Aug 18 following a row with Railway Protection Force (RPF) personnel, said Deputy Inspector General (Railway Police) Arvind Pandey.
So far, 26 people have been identified through video clippings as being part of the mob.
Ten days after the incident, the Railway Police had arrested Faiz Ahmad alias Chand, one of the 26 culprits identified.
On Aug 18, a group of students had a heated argument with railway personnel after they were found travelling without tickets. Following this, the angry mob pelted stones and set fire to two air-conditioned coaches of the train at Bihta railway station, about 30 km from here.
