Additional force was deployed at the stations after the Government Railway Police (GRP) received the letter, police sources said.

Every train is being thoroughly checked with the help of sniffer dogs. GRP, RPF and police personnel have been deployed at all the stations of Kota division to deal with any eventuality, they said.

Though not ruling out the possibility of the threat letter being just a prank, they said the matter is being investigated.
