A minor fire broke out in a third-ac coach of Daulatpur-Sabarmati express train near Khatipura station in Rajasthan's Jaipur on Friday.

All passengers are safe and the train left after a delay of one hour, said North Western Railway spokesperson Captain Shashi Kiran.

The exact cause of the fire, which broke out near the toilet, was not immediately known, he said.

The coach was detached and the passengers were shifted to other coaches, he said.

The incident occurred between Khatipura and Jagatpura railway stations.

The matter is being investigated.
