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.

Beed superintendent of police Navneet Kanwat said, "The Shirur police have registered an FIR under relevant sections and initiated an investigation. The identity and location of the suspect are being verified, and the cybercrime branch has been roped in to trace the origin of the messages. According to the FIR, the complainant, Suraj Gadekar, a resident of Shivajinagar in Shirur, told the police that the incident began on July 11 when he was watching reels on a social media platform. He came across a reel from a recent Bollywood movie and, in the comments section, noticed a highly objectionable comment posted by a user.

During the chats, the accused allegedly claimed to be from Karachi, Pakistan, and shared his location. The complaint further states that the accused made derogatory remarks about deities and practices and shared provocative audio clips and reels targeting a particular religion. The situation escalated on July 29 when the complainant received an audio message from the accused. In the voice clip, the sender allegedly said he needed 50 men to blow up a prominent religious place and offered Rs 1 lakh each to those who joined. He also referred to supplying RDX for the operation and demanded contact details of anyone willing to assist.

Bhupesh Baghel, Son Move Supreme Court Over CBI, Probe Agency Role In Liquor Case
New Delhi: Former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel and his son Chaitanya Baghel have approached the Supreme Court, seeking the legal authority and jurisdiction of central investigative agencies-the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the Enforcement Directorate (ED)-in probing alleged irregularities linked to the multi-crore liquor scam in the state. The petition, according to reports, filed amid escalating political tensions, seeks clarity on whether the agencies have overstepped their mandate under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) and other statutes. The matter is scheduled for hearing on Monday before a bench comprising Justice Suryakant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi. The move comes days after Chaitanya Baghel was arrested by the ED in connection with a Rs 2,160 crore liquor scam that allegedly operated during Bhupesh Baghel's tenure as Chief Minister. The ED claims that a parallel liquor distribution network siphoned off massive sums through unaccounted sales and illegal commissions, implicating several political and bureaucratic figures. Bhupesh Baghel has publicly denounced the arrest and subsequent raids at his Bhilai residence, calling them politically motivated and designed to suppress dissent. "The ED is being used as a tool to target opposition leaders," Baghel said, alleging that the timing of the arrest-on his son's birthday-was symbolic of the Centre's vendetta politics. The Congress party has backed Baghel's stance, staging protests across Raipur, Jagdalpur, and other districts, accusing the BJP-led Centre of weaponising investigative agencies to intimidate political opponents. Chaitanya Baghel, son of former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel, was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) on July 18, 2025, which was also his birthday. The arrest was part of an ongoing investigation into a Rs 2,160 crore liquor scam allegedly involving a nexus of politicians, bureaucrats, and liquor contractors operating during Bhupesh Baghel's tenure. ED officials conducted raids at the Baghel family residence in Bhilai, Durg district, early in the morning on July 18. Chaitanya was taken into custody under Section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA). The ED cited non-cooperation during the search as grounds for immediate arrest. Bhupesh Baghel publicly condemned the timing, calling it a "birthday gift" from the Central government and alleging political vendetta. The first ED raid at Bhupesh Baghel's Bhilai residence occurred on March 10, 2025. Baghel claimed that this earlier raid was timed to prevent him from participating in the state budget session, alleging that it was politically motivated and aimed at silencing opposition voices. Between the March raid and the July arrest, Baghel stated that no formal notice or inquiry was issued to his son, raising questions about procedural fairness. The ED alleges that Chaitanya Baghel received Rs 16.70 crore in illicit funds and played a key role in laundering over Rs 1,000 crore through real estate and other channels. The case has since become a flashpoint in the broader debate over the use of central agencies against opposition leaders.
