Supporters of Purnea MP Pappu Yadav on Friday held a rail blockade at Sachiwalay Halt station in Patna to press their demand for cancellation of the recent Bihar Public Service Commission (BPSC) examination.

A video showed the supporters squatted on the tracks for a brief period, causing a delay in the movement of trains.

"Protesters stopped the Buxar-Fatuha passenger train at Sachivalaya Halt Station around 9 am on Friday. The train was stopped for 20 minutes and after that, it left the station," Sarswati Chandra, chief public relation officer, East Central Railway said.
