Sunny Deol and Karisma Kapoor were accused of pulling the train chain on March 11, 1997. The duo was shooting for the movie Bajrang then at Sanvarda village near Phulera in Jaipur district. It is being reported that the incident took place at the 2413-A Uplink Express at the Ajmer railway division where the train halted at Narena station in Phulera. The alleged incident of the chain-pulling led to a delay of 25 minutes for the train.  

Both Sunny Deol and Karisma Kapoor had filed a review petition in the court. As per reports, action director Tinu Verma and another actor, Satish Shah, too were present during the alleged incident. The case will continue against them because they didn’t file a review petition like Sunny-Karisma, reports claimed.
