Fake TTE held at Muz railway station
Patna: A man impersonating a travel ticket examiner (TTE) was arrested late Thursday evening at Muzaffarpur railway station under the Sonepur division of East Central Railway (ECR) during a large-scale ticket-checking operation. The incident occurred aboard coach S1 of the Guwahati-Barauni Express (11123), where railway officials were conducting a surprise inspection. According to Sonepur senior divisional commercial manager (senior DCM) Raushan Kumar, the suspect's behaviour drew attention during the drive.

When confronted by Meena, the suspect failed to provide satisfactory responses or any valid identification," said the senior DCM. A Muzaffarpur RPF team, led by inspector Manish Kumar, detained the man for questioning. "After a thorough investigation, the RPF team recovered a series of fraudulent documents from his possession, including a fabricated railway ID, a copy of a fake joining letter, an Aadhaar card a railway medical card and a sum of Rs 4,980 in cash," said Raushan Kumar. "The accused was identified as 45-year-old Ravindra Kumar, a resident of Deoria in Uttar Pradesh. He had been posing as a railway official and attempting to extort money from unsuspecting passengers," the senior DCM said, adding that the suspect was handed over to the GRP in Muzaffarpur on Friday for further legal action. In the wake of the incident, the railways issued a public advisory urging passengers to remain alert and to verify the credentials of ticket-checking staff.

Kochi: After a train passenger pulled an emergency chain in panic, a TTE stepped in to restore a valve which helped resume the train's journey.

The passenger had left behind a bag containing a relative's important documents at Aluva railway station and pulled the chain. According to an official from the Railways, after the train stopped on the bridge, it was difficult for the guards to restore the valve.

TTE Enters AC Coach, Passenger Bolts To Toilet. Here's What He Was Doing Inside
1/6 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. 3/6 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.

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.
