MUMBAI: The Government Railway Police (GRP) suspects that the robbery bid on board the Jaipur-Bandra Terminus Express in the early hours on Sunday was the handiwork of a gang from Rajasthan.

The suspicion is based on two vital clues — beedi packets manufactured in Rajasthan which were found in the bags of the robbers, and their modus operandi, encompassing knife-point robbery close to the train's terminating station when it was nearly empty.

"We suspect that the robbers had boarded the train from Jaipur itself and were waiting for the train to get almost empty in Borivali before targeting the Khan couple," the investigating officer in the case told Hindustan Times.
