TTE Enters AC Coach, Passenger Bolts To Toilet. Here's What He Was Doing Inside

Indian Railways is dedicated to ensuring passengers have a safe journey through continuous checks on trains and stations. Recently, a train ticket examiner (TTE) encountered a startling situation during a routine ticket check on a train passing through Prayagraj division.

The TTE approached the AC coach to check tickets, but a passenger promptly got up and hurried to the toilet. Suspecting the passenger had not purchased a ticket, the TTE followed him. Despite repeated knocking, the toilet door did not open immediately.

When it eventually did, the TTE was shocked to find the passenger inside the toilet, smoking a cigarette. Smoking is strictly prohibited on trains, resulting in the passenger being fined.

A special drive was conducted targeting ticketing violations, illegal carriage of goods, littering in trains, and unauthorised hawkers. During this initiative, 24 illegal hawkers were apprehended and handed over to the Railway Protection Force (RPF). Following legal proceedings at the magistrate level, 6 out of the 24 hawkers were imprisoned.

In Prayagraj, 20 trains were inspected, leading to 343 passengers being fined Rs. 2,07,950. This included 117 passengers fined Rs. 1,05,700 for travelling without tickets, 221 passengers fined Rs. 1,01,250 for travelling with irregular tickets, and 5 passengers fined Rs. 1,000 for littering.

A ticket checking operation at Mirzapur station involved 7 ticket checking personnel from the Commerce Department, along with 7 members of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP). Six trains were checked, and 16 illegal hawkers were handed over to the RPF.
