A gang allegedly looted passengers of cash and valuables at gunpoint and assaulted some of them aboard the New Delhi-Patna Rajdhani Express in Bihar's Buxar district this morning, the police said.

A dozen men barged into three coaches of the train near the Buxar railway station, about 125 km from Patna, and threatened to shoot the passengers if they tried to resist the robbery, the passengers told the police.
