When the train reached Rangia station and a large number of daily passengers boarded the train here, an altercation ensued when they asked the jawans to take their belongings off the seats, they said.
Suddenly the jawans allegedly took out their knives and stabbed two passengers injuring one of them seriously, the GRP sources said.
The seriously wounded was identified as Kameswar Kalita and has been admitted to the Gauhati Medical College Hospital.
The chief of Military Police alleged before the media that trouble began when the passengers beat up the three jawans and snatched away their belongings.
Passengers who commute daily by the train complained that there is no security arrangement on board leading to such incidents at regular intervals.
