On the basis of a tip-off, four men, identified as Vijay Malik, Bir Singh, Kanhaiya Lal Mittal and Harjeet Singh, were arrested, the RPF said. On August 25, two empty coaches of the Rewa Express stationed at the Anand Vihar Railway Station were set ablaze by miscreants.   


Some bottles with an inflammable liquid were also found at the spot which indicated it to be the handiwork of some miscreants, the RPF said. The RPF sought help from the Delhi Police's Special Cell and a joint team of both the units arrested the four accused. The RPF said that the accused admitted that they are followers of the godman and had set ablaze the coaches of the train at Anand Vihar, the RPF said.

In August, cases of torching of DTC buses and train coaches were reported from different parts of the city, following the conviction of the godman in two rape cases, by a Special CBI court in Haryana's Panchkula.   The Dera Sacha Sauda chief was sentenced to 20 years in prison in the two rape cases.
