Tapas Das, Officer-in-Charge of the Government Railway Police (GRP), confirmed the arrests on Saturday and said the trio was intercepted while preparing to board a train to Hyderabad. The operation was jointly conducted by the GRP, Railway Protection Force (RPF), Border Security Force (BSF), and intelligence personnel.
