On February 18 midnight, 66 persons, including some Pakistani nationals, were killed and 13 others injured in explosions in two coaches of the Delhi-Attari special train at Diwana near Panipat in Haryana, reports Press Trust of India. Northern Railway General Manager, V. N. Mathur, told that he suspected sabotage as two improvised explosive device (IED)-laden suitcases, one from the rail track and another from the train, were also recovered subsequent to the explosions. One of the suitcases had incendiary material, either petrol or kerosene, which could have set the train afire, he said. The bi-weekly train, connecting India-Pakistan Samjhauta Express, had left Delhi at 10:40 pm for Attari near Amritsar and two of its bogies caught fire immediately after the explosions. The train runs non-stop from Delhi to Attari, where passengers are shifted to the Samjhauta Express, which goes to Lahore after customs and immigration clearances.

Cadres of the Communist Party of India-Maoist (CPI-Maoist), on June 27, stormed a railway station, set fire to the stationmaster’s office and rigged the tracks with explosives, reports Telegraph. The pre-dawn attack occurred at Biramdih station in Purulia, close to the Jharkhand border. Maoists also pasted posters on the walls and pillars on the station premises before fleeing. The posters condemned the "genocide" in Nandigram — where 14 land protesters were killed in March 2007 in clashes with police — and warned the government against setting up special economic zones in the State. An explosive device planted by the Maoists below the tracks was later recovered and defused by the security forces. West Bengal Home Secretary Prasad Ranjan Ray said a probe has been ordered.
