After the police took control of the situation, it was ascertained that the coach suffered break binding leading to friction in the break block. This, therefore, caused smoke in the cabin. It has been confirmed by the Indian Railways that there was no fire in the coach. The train was immediately stopped according to their standard operations, and the train crew attended to the cause of the situation immediately.
The Bengaluru-Howrah Express train resumed its operations from Andhra Pradesh by 1:33 pm.
