More than two dozen people, including four policemen, suffered injuries after a mob pelted stones at a train at the Nangloi Railway Station on Friday morning.
A senior police official said the injured were undergoing treatment at Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital. The police has lodged two separate FIRs. A police source said a dozen people were detained in this connection.
The police reportedly resorted to lathicharge to bring the mob under control.
Meanwhile, a police source said a call about the incident was received around 7.45 am and a team each from the Nangloi police station and the Aman Vihar police station reached the spot but failed to pacify the mob. The CISF was then called in.
According to sources, milkmen used to beat passengers. They threatened to throw passengers off train if they did not vacate seats.
“Today morning, they boarded the train from Rohtak and asked the passengers to vacate seats. Few passengers objected and were thrashed. One of the passengers made calls to his friends and told them that milkmen had thrashed him. His friends and area residents gathered at the railway station. The victims who were thrashed pulled the chain. The mob started pelting stone at the train,” said the police source.
The source said the angry mob went on rampage for at least one hour and tried to set the train on fire.

New Delhi, June 28
The Delhi high court on Friday ordered that ossification test be conducted to ascertain the age of a girl, who has claimed to be above 18 years of age and refused to live with her foster parents as she was sexually exploited by her father and brother.
The court also directed the police to produce her before the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) of Delhi government where she should stay till the court receives the test report.
While hearing the girl’s plea seeking protection against her foster parents and brother, Justice Siddharth Mridul in an order said, “The petitioner seems to be a minor... In this circumstance, the police is directed to conduct ossification test within three weeks after ensuring constitution of a medical board. Till then, she should be lodged with the CWC.” The court also sought the test report within four weeks and posted the matter for August 5.
