The party workers put up the blockade demanding CBI enquiry into the unnatural death of a girl whose body was found on the rail track near the station on September 1, police officials said.

Although Railway police claimed that it was a case of suicide, party workers alleged that she had been raped and murdered, they said. The Delhi-bound Rajdhani and other trains resumed journey after the blockade was lifted after about 40 minutes following persuation by both local and rail police force, they said.
