Four passengers who arrived from Germany and were headed to Surat on Wednesday were made to deboard the Bandra-Delhi Sarai Rohilla Garib Rath train (coach G4-G5) at Palghar station after co-passengers raised an alarm and the Ticket Examiners noticed 'quarantine' stamps on the back of their hands.

A Western Railway (WR) spokesperson told mid-day, "Four passengers were deboarded from coach number G4 and G5 of 12216 Garib Rath when the TTEs and co-passengers saw a stamp on their hands. They had flown down from Germany and were headed to Surat."
