Coach attendant did chain pulling
When an attendant posted in the AC coach heard the noise of the passengers, he immediately pulled the chain of the train and the train stopped at Simri Bakhtiyarpur outer signal. After this the passengers of the train started jumping out of the coach. As soon as information about the incident was received, the train driver, guard and employees related to the operations department reached the spot, after which the brake winding was repaired and the train moved ahead.
The incident occurred due to brake winding near the wheel.
