The accused, aged 17 and 15, both natives of Khushiyal village in the Sangrampur Police Station area, were caught loosening a tie bar during a routine patrol Wednesday night.

RPF outpost in-charge Chandrashekhar Mishra said, "The two juveniles were taken into custody and sent to the juvenile home in Prayagraj today." Following the incident, repair work was promptly carried out, and the railway team replaced all necessary components at the site.

Permanent Way Inspector Yashovarman said, "The key man reported that all points have been fixed today. This incident did not impact rail traffic.
