One group alleged that the other had withheld all the food packets meant for every passenger in the coach. Soon a fight broke out inside the coach even as the security personnel watched on helplessly. Both groups used leather belts to attack each other.

Finally, some senior members managed to end the clash after which the train resumed its journey.
